Have people called you smart before?
Were you a straight-A student in school?
Have you considered if you might actually be a genius?
If you’ve taken an IQ test, but didn’t make the genius cut don’t fret. Just because you failed physics doesn’t mean you lack intelligence or career potential. You may be a genius by another name entirely!
“Multiple Intelligence” is a new-ish theory in the field of psychology. The theory suggests there are nine types of intelligence — not all of which can be measured on standard IQ tests.
Dr. Howard Gardner, a leading psychologist at Harvard, first put forward the theory in 1983. He believes everyone falls under one or more of these nine categories to some degree.
- Linguistic (writers, speakers)
- Mathematical (scientists, financial planners)
- Naturalistic (farmers, botanists)
- Visual/spatial (artists, dancers)
- Musical (composers, musicians)
- Physical (athletes)
