Howard Gardner proposed the theory of multiple intelligences which suggests that there are several distinct forms of intelligence that individuals possess to varying degrees. The theory outlines eight main intelligences: linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist. Gardner argued that the traditional notion of intelligence as a single entity does not fully capture the complexity of human cognition.
