This document discusses Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, which identifies eight different forms of intelligence: musical, bodily-kinesthetic, logical-mathematical, linguistic, spatial, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist. Examples are provided for each type of intelligence to illustrate skills and traits, such as Beethoven's musical talents, Dakota Fanning's acting abilities, Barbara McClintock's scientific thinking, and Martin Luther King Jr.'s leadership skills. The theory maintains that individuals can be intelligent in different ways.
