Howard Gardner proposed that there are eight types of intelligences: visual-spatial, linguistic-verbal, logical-mathematical, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic. Each intelligence involves different skills and abilities, and people often have different career paths suited to their strongest intelligences such as artists for visual-spatial or teachers for linguistic-verbal intelligence. The document provides examples of careers aligned with each of the eight intelligences.
