I think it has room for improvement and requires collaborators with various viewpoints to be complete. Human beings REALLY enjoy ,maybe NEED to have things be from one source, have one point of origin ,one point of blame , one point of praise( often in the form of a representative to receive an award for a group at a ceremony ) So, naturally a human working Ina theory will categorize things to be individual points. I am sure they will not be able to use such a thing honestly ( not to say it won't be used ) and after some decades of research and social acclimation to the new concepts ,they will be able to build on it again. Wisdom is what I call a few of these explanations of his. Knowledge and wisdom are equally important , you can know everything but if you can't use or utilize that knowledge, it means nothing. Wisdom is the measure of how well we use our knowledge and the wise person may know less ,but can use what they know effectively . Philosophical Wisdom is the understanding of how events play out but is through knowledge of the past and an unfettered observation of the present . There is a heavy truth to the observation that some people that society views as " smart" are useless outside of their environment. I feel bad for the people that can create complex computer programs but will die simply because of a power failure. Will die from grocery stores being closed ect. Because they have no use for wilderness and have no worry about a delicate electrical system failing. We could have a solar flair as I write this and in 8 minutes , worldwide emp. All electricity fails. maybe one of the hypersonic sled MIssles gets through the defense grid , high orbit tactical nukes. Failed tests , natural disasters, civil unrest breaks out into urban warfare ... things happen. It is good to be able to Know how to get the four basics of food ,water,heat and shelter .as well as more advanced Needs of defensive tools , medical care( water decontamination falls here) , evasion and camouflage , blacksmithing and butchery, making cordage , paper , candles and other utilities can come in time . For entertainment , see what your environment allows for noise wise. It could be anything from drawing quietly and quiet board games to music and singing .We can make our own as we need it. Sorry to rant on. I hope to someday figure out how to reach a large group on a meaningful level dealing with the unwanted topics. If we dealt with the unwanted topics , life would improve . While there is no tangible fix all . Working together as a people tackle these issues would be as close as it gets to the universal fix. Universal compromise would hold these fixes...a fix fixture if you will.( Lol bad nerd humor )

I think that existentialism intelligence needs to exist because I fall into that category and maybe more people will come out of the woodwork and build meetups around that and that would mean that I would be able to make more friends.

I think humor intelligence would fit in interpersonal intelligence

This makes for a far better template for intelligence stat system in RPG games

It's definitely more nuanced than simply an "int" stat as many RPGs have! It's actually kind of fascinating to consider Dungeons and Dragons 5e in particular. Parallel to Gardner, the creators have put a lot of effort into identifying the different subsets of skills used for different activities and creating customized ability checks for them. Maybe they have managed to identify a comprehensive list of intelligences totally independently while trying to do something entirely different! There's certainly some overlap--for reference from roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Ability%20Scores#content , these are the DnD ability checks: Dexterity Acrobatics Sleight of Hand Stealth Intelligence Arcana History Investigation Nature Religion Wisdom Animal Handling Insight Medicine Perception Survival Charisma Deception Intimidation Performance Persuasion Strength Athletics

There could also be Temporal Intelligence, as if Spatial Intelligence is about you moving efficiently according to space, then Temporal Intelligence is about finding yourself in time, for example you are waiting for an online meeting that is in 5 minutes, meanwhile you focus on minor activities, and then you see you are late 10 minutes; it would be intelligent that you would feel in your mind that 5 minutes have already passed, and you act efficiently according to time, so you would not be late for the meeting.

Follow your interests and learn when you question. It will lead you or your child(ren) down incredible paths. ...His comment on humor being logical intelligence was interesting. One of my identical twins was witty before the age of 2 and she is very logical and a very deep thinker.

I’m surprised there’s no mention of creative, visual intelligence - the architect, designer, artist, engineer. The visionary type of intelligence, Leonardo da Vinci or Frank Lloyd Wright, for example.

I am good at math and love learning new language Philosophy is one of my favourite subject

Well, you're in the right place 😉. It sounds like those would be linguistic intelligence, logical-mathematical intelligence, and existential intelligence. It's interesting to consider how they may overlap or complement each other; both philosophy and math use logic, for example. Perhaps through examining our lives in those lenses we can gain insight into how our own minds work - though that may require a certain amount of intrapersonal intelligence in its own right!

“Well they can’t be intelligences because I don’t have any of them” 😂

What about imaginative intelligence? Conceptualizing thoughts, ideas and theories by coming up with solutions and recognizing patterns seems like a type of intelligence. Unless that's already considered a part of the intrapersonal category 🤔

That's what I do. Imagination is underrated. I think there is a small group of people that do this actively. I believe most people are bothered by those that can. That is why the majority of things are mediocre.

You are describing many people but the ones who actually put their imagination into reality are the ones who become intelligent through execution and learning. Such figures would be Albert Einstein or an Engineer or architect. Even Steve Jobs.

@@Jj-vd6es if I remember correctly Einstein mentioned imagination is greater than "intelligence."

There are more than 100 classes of intelligences, the wonderful here is when one person can manage a big amount of those instead others that can do only less than five. (My personal opinion)

LOL loved the little jab at himself at the end.

Truly, this is monumental.... there is more intelligence than a book or streets.

To collectively hone in on each person's individual talent and intelligence, would ultimately be enough to combine each person's thoughts and properly sort them into what has been thought and what has not been thought in such great detail, they could buy number so what would be a good idea and what would not. So hit that like button and be counted, or post and be noticed. Either way you're wonderful.

About existential intelligence, some philosophers in the end simply advise people to live in "the moment" which maybe mice or birds already are doing all the time ...

Freethink and Big Think are actually the same company! We merged a bit over a year ago. The Well is a new channel we are starting centered around life's biggest questions; we're beginning by recutting content from Big Think interviews in particular.

Oh man, no one listed them in the comments yet 👀

I seem to always ask myself these broad questions what is it like to die? What is the true meaning/ point to life? And even darker such as daydreaming about someone or something and my mind wonders what if... for example I got in a car wreck? What if I lost a limb? What if someone died? How would I react? Then I think how horrible that is to even think stuff like that. But it’s almost too easy to do. Even the shape of the earth is in question. The Big Bang that started as nothing then became everything all at once. We’re supposed to be traveling through space on a oblate spheroid over 500,000MPH and are still seeing the same star constellations in the same spots for thousands and thousands of years without a single deviation? I think people should think more about thinking..

Big overlap in intrapersonal and existential intelligences

Hmm, no doubt I need much more information than can be conveyed in a 10 minute video, but this list seems rather arbitrary in many ways. Some intelligences seem like they could be combinations of others, and I don't see why we couldn't extend the list somewhat indefinitely. When does the term "intelligence" cease to be a meaningful descriptior?

It is my lack of cooking intelligence that burns most. Well, g. Accumulating empirical experience is what our brain records, in order to notice whether expectations are fulfilled by our response. When they aren't, g, we Learn that our cherished expectation is in error! So, dear Howard, can we not be a g whiz? Isn't something general in our life, which even our g- enes recognize, or at least imply, that endhows us with the ability to sail down and across the winds of our time? (looking across the vast field of piano quartets & quintets trying to find a region origin, or author of a somewhat gypsy-sounding piece, i did notice that my brain was able to reject the huge stack of European composers, and pieces obviously far from the modes, notes, transitions, that were too far from that tradition. I could kind of place it geographically and timewise, but couldn't isolate it enough to find it. Oddly, only musicians and ballet dancers formally exposed to hearing tones, timbres, and other incipient signals in music, remain able to learn new languages with minimal accent as post-puberty adults , hearing the sounds that others become incapable of reproducing. Application of attention, g, is that the nexus of the intelligences?

#8: Animal ken? I got that one.

Maybe, there is a surprising kind of wisdom when a 5 year old asks, why? And doesn't seem to care about an answer, maybe they answer it themselves through action; some parts may be meant to be experienced rather than understood 😅

I think that the exastential intelligence would also incorporate spiritual intelligence? To ponder.

I disagree that 5 year olds don't pay much attention to the answers... most of them follow up with another why, verbal or otherwise.

I agree that some 5 year olds don’t follow up with the answers while others do. Whether their questions are motivated by the need to know the truth or stall time before their bedtime is another topic.

Spiritual intelligence

This is silly. 1: Musical intelligence is a form of linguistic intelligence, because music is a language. Maybe it should be better accounted for on tests, but it's a language, and playing an instrument well is like speaking well; it requires listening, copying, practice and creativity emanating from the same part of the brain. 2: Spatial intelligence is a form of logical intelligence, and most IQ tests / standardized tests use geometry or space for at least half the math questions. 3: Bodily intelligence is spatial intelligence, which again is geometric. Arguably, geometric/spatial is slightly different from logical/mathematic, but it's generally accounted for on the tests in the same category. The ability to look under the hood of your car, figure out what's wrong, figure out how to take it out and fix it and replace it, is the same thing as logical or spatial or mathematical intelligence. Space and math are manifested in our tools and how we use them to make and fix things. 4: Interpersonal intelligence (salesmanship) is obviously linguistic intelligence. 5: Intra-personal intelligence requires linguistic intelligence to read and understand yourself. 6: Naturalist intelligence is a form of categorization, which is again logical. Basically we're back to the first two. In every case beyond verbal and mathematical, he's just talking about *applied* versions of those kinds of intelligence, or how they manifest in different people differently. But this whole spiel makes me think of George Carlin: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dXls0dGGcqzfc5s.html

I have identical twin girls. There is a huge difference between thier humor styles. One is witty and scarcastic and she could communicate it before 2 yrs old. The other is silly and tells entertaining long weaving stories. I'm dry. My husband is witty. One of the twins cognitively favors him, while the other me. It's very interesting to watch. They are now 7. We have watch some parts of thier personalities flip flop back and forth and we believe those to be environmental. Temper is another thing I thing is inate. We can teach the tools to cope and knowledge of social norms, but an empath mother will just about always know what lies beneath. I
