This document discusses Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences. It defines intelligence as the ability to learn, understand, or problem solve. Gardner identified 9 types of intelligence: verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalist, and existential. Each intelligence involves a different skill set and way of learning. The document provides examples of skills and behaviors associated with each type of intelligence. It aims to explain Gardner's theory that rather than a single general intelligence, people learn and problem solve using various combinations of these specific intelligences.
