Howard Gardner (theory of multiple intelligences)

Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences suggests that people have different kinds of intelligence, rather than just one general ability. He identified various types, including linguistic (word skills), logical-mathematical (numbers and reasoning), spatial (visualization), musical (music and rhythm), bodily-kinesthetic (movement and physical skills), interpersonal (understanding others), intrapersonal (self-awareness), and naturalistic (nature understanding). This means individuals excel in different areas, and learning is most effective when it aligns with their strengths. Recognizing these diverse intelligences helps personalize education and allows people to develop their unique talents.
