Howard Gardner proposed the theory of multiple intelligences in 1983, which argued that academic intelligence alone is not enough to succeed in life. He defined intelligence as abilities, suggesting that all people have different combinations of musical, visual-spatial, verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic intelligences. The document introduces Lucia, a 15-year-old girl from Spain whose strongest intelligence is musical as she enjoys singing in a chorus and listening to various types of music.
