Multiple Intelligences
Jeanneth Calvache
The theory of multiple intellliences is predominantly attributed to the work of noted psychologist Howard Gardier during the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Gardner conceived intelligence as having multiple rather than singular forms and developed a set of criteria for identifying unique intelligences
Gardner’s theory says that there are at least eight different intelligences: linguistic (word smart), logical-mathematical (numbers and reasoning smart), spatial (picture smart), musical (music smart), bodily-kinesthetic (body smart)), interpersonal (people smart), intrapersonal (self-smart), and naturalist (nature smart).

arguably the most researched
of Gardner's nine

Intrapersonal
Very few of us will have been taught the importance of developing Intrapersonal skills for the ability to reflect and monitor your own progress, thoughts and feelings, strengths and weaknesses are not encouraged in educations. Indeed, education has its own formal tests that we must attend to. Those few who do posses Intrapersonal Intelligence have often acquired it for themselves by taking an active interest in their ability to control their own destiny.
