First postulated by Howard Gardner in his 1983 book Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences, the theory is that as opposed to someone being intelligent or not intelligent, people actually have intelligence in differing areas.
This poster references six of those areas:
Musicality is the ability to hear and differentiate sounds and rhythms in great detail. Sometimes such people have nearly perfect pitch.
Spatial (Visual) individuals can visualize and diagram even abstract concepts exceptionally well – thinking predominately in pictures/graphics.
Interpersonal people have almost what could be termed an instinctive ability to predict how people are going to react both logically and emotionally in diverse situations and to adjust accordingly for the desired relational outcome.
Intrapersonal is a deeper than normal self knowledge and the ability to grow in that self knowledge through thoughtful introspection.
Logical (Mathematical) intelligence is seen in individuals with strong critical thinking, reasoning, and scientific experimental skills.
Kinesthetic (Bodily) intelligence exhibits itself in a precise control over one’s own motor skills.
Linguistic describes the intelligence of individuals who exhibit a strong understanding of language and how to express themselves in the spoken or written word with exceptional clarity.
A wise leader discerns the varying intelligences of his/her team mates and leverages those strengths for the maximum benefit and productivity of the team.
