A man named Howard Gardner "developed" (created) a "theory" (an idea about how the world works) of "multiple intelligences." His theory "recognizes" (or sees) that people have many different "kinds" (types) of "abilities" (things that people are able to do). Some people who are good at music, for example, are not good at math, but this doesn't mean that they aren't intelligent.

One of these multiple intelligences is "bodily intelligence." This "refers to" (is about) one's ability to move one's body well and to do physical things. Athletes, actors, and "surgeons" (doctors who cut bodies to do surgery) all have high bodily intelligence. People with high "musical intelligence" understand music very well and are able to play instruments, sing, and/or write music,

Another one of the multiple intelligences is "interpersonal intelligence". This refers to how people "interact" (or act with other people) with each other. People with high interpersonal intelligence enjoy working with other people and can easily understand other people's thoughts and feelings. In contrast, "intrapersonal intelligence" refers to how well people know themselves. People with high intrapersonal intelligence are very "pensive" (spend a lot of time thinking) and enjoy being alone.

"Naturalistic intelligence" is found in people who like being outdoors in the natural world. They enjoy making things grow, taking care of animals, and paying attention to the weather.

Finally, people with high "spatial intelligence" are very good at "visualizing" (seeing in their mind) objects and how they work together. These people often become architects and engineers.
