Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences proposes that intelligence is not a single general ability but rather consists of at least eight specific intelligences. The eight intelligences included in Gardner's theory are verbal/linguistic, logical/mathematical, visual/spatial, bodily/kinesthetic, musical/rhythmic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist. The theory emphasizes the idea that individuals possess combinations of intelligences in different amounts and that individuals can strengthen these intelligences through learning.
