Identify different kinds of intelligence in your child

A child may have one or several types of intelligence. You can understand your child better by knowing what types of intelligence that your child has. This will enable you to find out what kind of activities are suitable for your child so as to help your child to learn better and faster. I have done a research in the internet and have found that there are about seven types of intelligence.

Visual-Spatial
Doing puzzles, reading, writing, drawing, visual arts, having a good sense of direction, designing objects, fixing things

Verbal- Linguistic
Speaking, storytelling, writing, listening, using humour, remembering information, using language cleverly

Logical-Mathematical
Problem solving, categorizing classifying, working with geometric shapes

Bodily-Kinaesthetic
Dancing, sports, acting, anything requiring physical coordination, creating with hands

Musical-Rhythmic
Singing, playing musical instruments, composing music

Interpersonal
Able to see other's point of view, listening, able to pick up on cues from others, good at forming good relations with other people, conflict resolution; good leaders

Intrapersonal
Figuring out their own strengths and weaknesses, analyzing, understanding themselves and how they relate to others
