Howard Gardner proposed the theory of multiple intelligences, which posits that there are different kinds of intelligence beyond the traditional academic measures. The document outlines seven types of intelligence: naturalistic, interpersonal, spatial-visual, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, logical-mathematical, and linguistic. It provides examples of each type of intelligence and how people with those intelligences learn best. The document concludes with a profile of a student named Clara who identifies most with naturalistic, interpersonal, and bodily-kinesthetic intelligences.
