8 Types of Intelligence

Writer's picture: Coach Nomie Coach Nomie


Intelligence is the ability or the potential that we have to process information and there are several ways to do that. My way may differ from your way. You know how they say, “You can’t test a fish’s intelligence/abilities by how well it can climb a tree.” Numbers may be where you shine, while social situations may be an absolute landmine of confusion for you. You could also be really great at both. There is no law that says you can only be good at one thing. Whatever it is you are good at though, it is a good idea to find out what it is and hone in on it so that you can channel yourself towards those things and those ways of learning and understanding as your type of intelligence shapes your problem solving capabilities and your learning style among other things.
