Normally with one or two that are stronger than the others. Like many others you might be thinking intelligence only in reference to a
concept of multiple intelligence all together is a favorite of mine. The first quote you mentioned from Howard Gardner is brilliant. In my personal opinion, I think that supporting a wide variety of intelligences is a strong point of mine. However, no one is perfect and we all always tend to lean toward our own intelligence strengths. My strengths from the assessment were: bodily kinesthetic, interpersonal and existential. I have had numerous lessons on Howard Gardner’s multiple intelligences, yet have
