Howard Gardner developed the theory of multiple intelligences in 1983, proposing that there are eight different forms of intelligence rather than just one general intelligence. The eight intelligences are musical, bodily-kinesthetic, logical-mathematical, linguistic, spatial, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist. The document then provides descriptions and examples for each of the eight intelligences.
