The theory of multiple intelligences (MI) says that human beings are smart in many ways. The theory, Which was developed in 1983 by Dr. Howard Gardner a professor of education at Harvard university proposes eight types of intelligences are :
1. Linguistic Intelligence (word smart)
2. Logical mathematical intelligence (number-reasoning smart)
3. spatial intelligence (picture smart)
4. Bodily kinesthetic intelligence (body smart)
5. musical rhythmic intelligence (music smart)
6. Interpersonal intelligence(people smart)
7. Intrapersonal intelligence (self smart)
8. Naturalist intelligence (nature smart)
People who are strong in one or two intelligences can learn and improve other kinds of intelligences in which they are weak. For example, student of English who are strong in logical mathematical intelligences can use their strength to learn English and improve their linguistic intelligences. In time they can be strong in both intelligences.
