Actually, 9 different types of intelligence have been identified:
1. Naturalist Intelligence:
Think botanist or chef, or the ability to discriminate among consumer goods products.
2. Musical Intelligence:
The ability to discern pitch, rythm, timber and tone. A link with emotion and/or math.
3. Logical-Mathematical Intellgence:
Patterns, categories and relationships, games, experiments.
4. Existential Intelligence:
Deep questions about human existence, meaning of life, why we die, how we got here.
5. Interpersonal Intelligence:
Understand and interact effectively with others, entertain multiple perspectives (teachers, social workers, actors, politicians).
6. Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence:
Manipulate objects and use a variety of physical skills through mind-body union (Athletes, dancers, surgeons, crafts people).
7. Linguistic Intelligence:
Think in words (order and meaning) and use language to express and appreciate complex meanings.
(Poets, novelists, journalists, public speakers). Young adults with this kind of intelligence enjoy writing, reading, telling stories, doing crosswords.
8. Intra-personal Intelligence:
Capacity to understand oneself, one’s thoughts and feelings and to use knowledge in planning and directing one’s life. Appreciation for the human condition. (Psychologists, spiritual leaders, philosophers).
9. Spatial Intelligence:
Ability to think in three dimensions. (Sailors, pilots, sculptors, painters, architects).

So in other words, we’re all good at something, and we don’t necessarily have to go to college to “succeed.” Just saying’ :) Happy Friday!
