Multiple+intelligences

Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences:

In 1983, Howard Gardner proposed a theory of multiple intelligences when trying to define intelligence. He claims that one cannot be simply intelligent, but rather is intelligent in any combination of the seven types of intelligences.

There is some confusion about the number of types of intelligences that exist. First, there were seven, but later eight, or even nine intelligences have been identified.

Spatial intelligence is, "the ability to comprehend three-dimensional images and shapes. It involves interpreting dimensions of space that cannot be seen," ([]). People with a high level of spatial intelligence are good at reading maps and conceptualizing information into concept maps.
