The document discusses Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, which suggests that traditional notions of intelligence based on IQ testing are too limited and that there are eight main types of intelligence: linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, naturalist, interpersonal, and intrapersonal. It provides descriptions of each type of intelligence, including characteristics of learners who possess that intelligence. The document concludes that most people can develop each of the eight intelligences to some degree, and that the intelligences often work together in complex ways.
