The document summarizes Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, which posits that intelligence exists in several distinct forms rather than solely as a general mental capacity. It outlines the eight intelligences - linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist.
