PICK UP ON NOISES THAT OTHERS WOULD
NOT NORMALLY BE AWARE OF.

DRAWN TO GAMES INVOLVING STRATEGY AND
THE SOLVING OF PUZZLES

6. 4. EXISTENTIAL INTELLIGENCE
WHILE MANY OF US ARE HAPPY WITH GOING
ABOUT OUR LIVES DAY BY DAY, PEOPLE WITH
HIGH LEVELS OF EXISTENTIAL INTELLIGENCE
OFTEN THINK MORE DEEPLY ABOUT DAILY
OCCURRENCES.
THEY ASK QUESTIONS SIMILAR TO WHY ARE WE
HERE? AND, WHAT IS THE POINT OF ALL THIS?
THEY ARE OFTEN DEEPLY PHILOSOPHICAL
THINKERS AND THEY HAVE THE CAPACITY TO
LOOK FOR ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS BIGGER
THAN THEMSELVES. EXISTENTIAL INTELLIGENCE
IS OFTEN CALLED SPIRITUAL OR MORAL
INTELLIGENCE

7. 5. INTERPERSONAL INTELLIGENCE
DO YOU HAVE A NATURAL ABILITY TO GET
ON WELL WITH OTHERS? ARE YOU GOOD
AT READING PEOPLE AND SOCIAL
SITUATIONS? IF THIS IS THE CASE, CHANCES
ARE THAT YOU HAVE A HIGH LEVEL OF
INTERPERSONAL INTELLIGENCE. PEOPLE
WITH THIS TYPE OF INTELLIGENCE ARE
OFTEN GOOD AT READING VERBAL AND
NON-VERBAL CUES AS WELL AS
DETERMINING TEMPERAMENT AND MOOD.
THEY FEEL EMPATHY EASILY. OFTEN THIS
TYPE OF INTELLIGENCE CAN BE FOUND IN
LEADERS, POLITICIANS, SOCIAL WORKERS,
LIFE COACHES AND PSYCHOLOGISTS.

8. 6. LINGUISTIC INTELLIGENCE
LINGUISTIC INTELLIGENCE IS THE
TYPE OF INTELLIGENCE THAT IS MOST
COMMONLY SHARED BY HUMANS.
IT INVOLVES OUR ABILITY TO THINK
IN WORDS AND USE THESE WORDS
TO MAKE ONESELF UNDERSTOOD.
PEOPLE WITH HIGH LINGUISTIC

PUTTING THEIR FEELINGSY AND
THOUGHTS INTO WORDS IN ORDER
TO MAKE OTHERS UNDERSTAND

INTELLIGENCE HAVE AN EXCELLENT
SENSE OF TIMING AND A GREAT
MIND-BODY COORDINATION AS WELL

AND, AS A RESULT, THEY OFTEN TAKE
UP ROLES IN DANCE, SPORTS OR
MEDICINE. THEY USE THEIR BODIES TO
SOLVE PROBLEMS AND CREATE
SOMETHING MEANINGFUL.

10. 8. INTRA–PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE
DO YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR THOUGHTS,
FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS AND ARE YOU ABLE
TO USE THIS UNDERSTANDING IN YOUR
EVERYDAY LIFE? IF THIS IS THE CASE, YOU
PROBABLY HAVE HIGH INTRA-PERSONAL
INTELLIGENCE.
INTRA-PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE REFERS TO AN
UNDERSTANDING OF ONESELF AND THE HUMAN
CONDITION AS A WHOLE. THEY ARE KNOWN AS
‘SELF-SMART’ PEOPLE AND, DESPITE HAVING A
DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF THEIR OWN
