Howard Gardners theory
Howard Gardner defines intelligence as "thecapacity to solve problems or to fashion products
that are valued in one or more cultural setting"
(Gardner & Hatch, 1989). Using biological as well
as cultural research, he formulated a list of seven
intelligences. This new outlook on intelligence
differs greatly from the traditional view that
usually recognizes only two intelligences, verbaland mathematical.

Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence
is the ability to use one's mental abilities to coordinate one'sown bodily movements. This intelligence challenges the popularbelief that mental and physical activity are unrelated.
The ability to use your body skillfully to solve problems, createproducts or present ideas and emotions.
An ability obviously displayed for athletic pursuits, dancing,acting, artistically, or in building and construction.
You can include surgeons in this category but many people whoare physically talented"good with their hands"don't recognizethat this form of intelligence is of equal value to the other
intelligences.
Famous examples: Charlie Chaplin, Michael Jordan.

Can we be more than one?
Yes!
Although the intelligences are anatomically separated from each other,Gardner claims that the eight intelligences very rarely operateindependently.
Rather, the intelligences are used concurrentlyand typically complement e chotheras individuals develop skills or solve problems.For example, a dancer can excel in his art only if he/she has
strong musical intelligenceto understand the rhythm and variations of the music bodily kinesthetic intelligenceto provide him with the agility and coordination to
complete the movements successfully
interpersonal intelligenceto understand how he can inspire or emotionally move hisaudience through his movements
