The document discusses Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, which proposes that there are eight main intelligences: spatial, naturalist, interpersonal, musical, linguistic, intrapersonal, logical-mathematical, and bodily-kinesthetic. Each intelligence is defined in terms of what skills it involves, examples of people who demonstrate strengths in that area, and contexts in which it is used. The document also notes that intelligence profiles can vary over time based on factors like attention, instruction, practice, and development.
