 When we hear the word intelligence, we often think about high score on the IQ test, being great at school or having a successful career. But this vision of intelligence is very limited and does not capture the broader range of human potential in children and adults. All many different kinds of intelligence are there. My name is Robin Molast, I'm a doctor in psychology and in this video I will describe 9 types of intelligence. First, Howard Garner developed the theory of multiple intelligences and challenged traditional beliefs by assuming that everyone has different kinds of intelligence. He identified 9 types of intelligence. First, verbal linguistic intelligence. People with verbal linguistic intelligence have great communication skills and make sense of the word through language. Linguistic people are better than average at learning new words, acquiring other languages and detecting subtle meanings in communication. They tend to have a broader vocabulary than others. Linguistic people are good at reading, writing and telling stories that captivate their audience. Journalists, poets, teachers, translators or interpreters all use verbal linguistic intelligence. The second one is called logical mathematical intelligence. People with logical mathematical intelligence process information through logic and reason. They analyze situations or problems logically, identify solutions and solve mathematical operation easily. They are good at rezoning skills, decoding abstract symbols such as formulas and using computer programs. Logical mathematical intelligence is high among engineers, accountants, lawyers, mathematicians and scientists. The third type is musical intelligence. People with musical intelligence are very sensitive to music and are able to interpret pitch, rhythm, timbre and tone. They are good at performing, composing and appreciating music and musical patterns. Musicians, singers, composer, music teachers and digis have a high level of musical intelligence. The fourth type is bodilic and aesthetic intelligence and allows people to use movement and gesture to express feelings, ideas and to interact using the whole body. People with bodilic and aesthetic intelligence have high body awareness and learn through movement and physical experimentation. Because of this, they can handle objects skillfully and perform well in various sports activities. Athletes, dancers, actors and surgeons are often high in bodilic and aesthetic intelligence. The fifth type is visual spatial intelligence. People with this type of intelligence understand more accurately spatial and visual relationships. They are aware of their surroundings and are good at escaping mazes. They have an excellent sense of direction and often enjoy maps. They are more sensitive to physical aspect of matter such as shape and color. These people may excel at drawing, painting and photography. People who have strong visual spatial intelligence are for instance architects, sculptors, painters, art directors and graphic designers. The sixth type is naturalist intelligence. People with naturalist intelligence have a sensitivity to and appreciation for nature. They have a strong affinity to the outside world, to specific animals, plants and other objects in nature. Naturalists have a special ability to grow plants, vegetables and fruits and love to walk, climb, camp and hike. These people may excel at surviving in the wild. For instance, farmers, breeders, veterinarians, chefs, articulturists have a high level of naturalist intelligence. The seventh type is called interpersonal intelligence and refers to people who are good at understanding and dealing with others. They are skilled at managing relationships and negotiating conflicts. They have developed abilities to understand others' emotions and personalities. These people may excel in social work such as politicians, teachers, diplomats, negotiators or salesmen. The eighth type is interpersonal intelligence and characterizes people who are better than others at figuring out their own feelings, thoughts and goals. These people are introspective because they often analyze themselves and seek understanding. They can build accurate mental models of themselves and use such models to make decisions about their lives. These people are usually introverted and tend to shy away from others. People high in interpersonal intelligence are often good psychologists or historians. The ninth type is existential intelligence. People with existential intelligence are more sensitive and capable than others at tackling deep questions about human existence such as why do we live, where do we come from or what happens when we die. These thinkers use intuition to understand others and the world around them. Philosophers, theologians and life coaches are among those who have high existential intelligence. Those are the nine types of intelligence of Godner's theory. Intelligence has always been a controversial and hardly debated topic. Can we really measure intelligence accurately? It has been demonstrated that the IQ test measures only specific forms of intelligence such as logical, mathematical and verbal special types and therefore does not capture the broader range of intelligence in children and young adults. Most importantly, the dark side of our history has demonstrated that quantifying human potential by measuring intelligence has led to discrimination, segregation and eugenist initiatives. For instance, during the Second World War, Nazis preached that people with mental retardation were polluters of the Aryan Jing pool. In their Nazi campaign of medicalized killing, also called euthanasia, specific intelligent tests play a central role in stratifying the population along ethnic, Russian and class lines and in executing hundreds of thousands of victims based on their answers. In the same vein, in the 1970s, eugenicist movements used intelligent tests to justify the forced sterilization of thousands of poor African-American, Native American and Latina women. These atrocities remind us that misconception of unique intelligence and extreme quantification of human potential is dangerous. Today, we can safely assume that there are multiple forms of intelligence and measuring them accurately remains a theoretical, practical and netical challenge. Additional research is needed to better understand the role of genetic, cultural, socioeconomic and educational components in human potentials. The measure of intelligence is the ability to change, so be the change that you wish to see in the world. I hope you enjoyed this video and learned something.
