According to this idea, people who have: 1. Linguistic Intelligence - are communicators (they write these lists) 2. Kinesthetic Intelligence - are athletic, dance, physically adept 3. Interpersonal Intelligence - are mediators, organizers, helps group cohesion. 4. Naturistic Intelligence (more of an inclination) - look at animals and plants 5. Intrapersonal Intelligence (introverted inclination) -are self absorbed 6. Musical Intelligence - recognize sound patterns, recognizing them, creating them, reproducing them 7. Spatial Intelligence - organize objects. 8. Logical-mathematical Intelligence - are great with numbers, abstractions and logic, accounting 9. Existential Intelligence - philosophize. I don't know if the word intelligence is something that is well used for these categorizations. Many of these descriptions appear to be descriptions of people's predispositions. And out of all of these, like an astrology category, they can generally apply to anyone (I'm a virgo I'm an introvert !), except in this case a person can choose their "intelligence". One can think "I like arranging flowers!" and believe that they have both Naturalistic Intelligence and Spatial Intelligence. For the insecure and hard of thinking this is a convenient way to feel "smart"...which is not the same as being Intelligent. Cute that someone got to write academic papers and publish books on this.
