Intelligence: Intelligence can be defined as the ability to grasp information, understanding concept, and solving problems. It should be noted that the Theory of Multiple Intelligence was proposed by Howard Gardner. According to him, there are 8 types of intelligence explained below:

 

Type of intelligence

Characteristics

Linguistic

It refers to an understanding of language. If a child is good enough in any of the skills namely speaking, listening, reading, writing, he has attained linguistic intelligence.

Logical-mathematical intelligence

It refers to the understanding of maths and reasoning. A child who aspires to be a scientist, engineer, must have logical-mathematical intelligence.

Naturalistic

This intelligence deals with nature and surroundings. Those whos aspire to be an environmentalist must have this intelligence

Intrapersonal

It is to philosophers and spiritual leads who knows about about ‘self’, who wants to discover the truth and meaning of life.

Interpersonal

It is the ability to communicate with people and connecting with them interpersonally. The child looks for being a commentator, a businessperson should have this skill.

Bodily-Kinesthetic

It refers to the ability of a person to exploit fine motor movements. The child who aspires to be a pilot requires this set of skills.

Musical

It refers to the ability of a person to sing, dance, play a musical instrument.

Spatial

 

It is the capacity to perceive, understand and use spatial and visual information effectively. Even the blind children can create mental images (like in Braille), so this intelligence is not valued in school.

Hence, conclude that as per Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, Spatial intelligence is not valued in schools.
