This document discusses Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, which proposes that there are nine different types of intelligence: logical-mathematical, bodily-kinesthetic, verbal-linguistic, visual-spatial, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalistic, and existential. Each type of intelligence is defined and examples are given of skills and careers that relate to each intelligence. The document provides overviews of the different intelligences and ways each can be enhanced.
