The theory of multiple intelligences was developed by Howard Gardner in 1983. Gardner identified seven different types of intelligence:

• Linguistic intelligence
• Logical-mathematical intelligence
• Musical intelligence
• Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence

li>Spatial intelligence

• Interpersonal intelligence
• Intrapersonal intelligence

Each type of intelligence is important, and all children have the potential to develop all seven intelligences. However, some children may be more naturally inclined towards certain types of intelligence than others.
