Multiple Intelligence, Intelligence Quotient & Emotional Quotient

The theory of multiple intelligences was proposed by Howard Gardner in 1983, to more accurately define the concept of intelligence. The 7 categories of intelligence are...
Bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, verbal-linguistic, logical mathematical, neutralistic, intrapersonal, visual spatial and musical.
A little bit on these aspects...

-Bodily-kinesthetic- People who have this intelligence usually learn better by getting up and moving around, and are generally good at physical activities such as sports or dance.
-Interpersonal- People who have a high interpersonal intelligence tend to be extroverts, characterized by their sensitivity to others' moods, feelings, temperaments and motivations, and their ability to cooperate in order to work as part of a group.
- Verbal-linguistic- People with high verbal-linguistic intelligence display a facility with words and languages. They are typically good at reading, writing, telling stories and memorizing words along with dates.
-Logical Mathematical-Those with this intelligence naturally excel in mathematics, chess, computer programming and other logical or numerical activities
-Neutralistic- This has to do with nature, nurturing and relating information to one's natural surroundings, those with it are said to have greater sensitivity to nature and their place within it, the ability to nurture and grow things, and greater ease in caring for, taming and interacting with animals.
-Intrapersonal- Those who are strongest in this intelligence are typically introvert and prefer to work alone. They are usually highly self-aware and capable of understanding their own emotions, goals and motivations.
-Visual spatial-People with strong visual-spatial intelligence are typically very good at visualizing and mentally manipulating objects. Those with strong spatial intelligence are often proficient at solving puzzles.
-Musical- Those who have a high level of musical-rhythmic intelligence display greater sensitivity to sounds, rhythms, tones, and music.

Emotional Quotient demonstrates the ability to identify, assess, and manage the emotions of one's self, of others, and of groups. *I feel that this is especially important for everyone to possess it as we are constantly dealing with different people. When one enters workforce, employers tend to seek out for individuals who could emotionally handle all aspects of the working life.

Intelligent Quotient on the other hand demonstrates a person's ability to acquire and aplly knowledge, as well as engaging in abstract reasoning.
