In 1983, psychologist Howard Gardner introduced a powerful concept: intelligence isn’t just about IQ or academic success — it’s about how we experience and engage with the world around us. đź’ˇ
Here’s a gentle reminder that your brilliance might not lie in textbooks or formulas, but in your ability to dance, to connect, to feel, to grow. 💫
✨ The 9 Intelligences:
- Existential – You ponder life’s big questions. Why are we here? What is purpose?
- Interpersonal – You connect deeply with others, sensing their needs and emotions.
- Intrapersonal – You understand yourself, your emotions, and your inner world.
- Kinaesthetic – You think through movement, your body tells its own story.
- Linguistic – You find beauty in words, stories, and self-expression.
- Logical-Mathematical – You see patterns in everything, not just numbers.
- Musical – You feel rhythm in your bones and emotion in every note.
- Naturalist – You are grounded in nature, attuned to its wisdom.
- Spatial – You visualize, imagine, and create through images and form.
💬 Where does emotional intelligence fit? It’s woven throughout — found in the heart of interpersonal, intrapersonal, and even musical intelligence. It’s in how we connect, reflect, and feel.
❤️ You are more than your grades, your job title, or your past. You hold multiple kinds of intelligence — and every single one is worthy of celebration.
