 introduction

This theory suggests that traditional psychometric views of intelligence

are too limited. Gardner first outlined his theory in his 1983
book Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences, where he
suggested that all people have different kinds of "intelligences."

Gardner proposed that there are eight intelligences, and has

suggested the possible addition of a ninth known as "existentialist
intelligence."

In order to capture the full range of abilities and talents that people
possess, Gardner theorizes that people do not have just an intellectual
capacity, but have many kinds of intelligence, including musical,
interpersonal, spatial-visual, and linguistic intelligences.
 Examples of intrapersonal intelligence

Good examples of this type of intelligence are:

She looks for alternatives that
get her out of that state (like
talking to another person
about how she feels or going
for a walk) or she waits until
she feels better before
making an important decision.
A person who treats himself with
kindness, who understands his
own mistakes, and who has the
capacity to forgive himself. This is
called self-compassion, and it
promotes the development of
intrapersonal intelligence through
awareness of certain
circumstances that can limit the
person.
A person who is able to
accurately describe and explain
their own emotions and feelings
developed intrapersonal
intelligence. This is achieved,
among other things, through the
expansion of the vocabulary that
allows giving a name or
describing emotions and,
ultimately, understanding them.
How to develop intrapersonal intelligence

To improve this type of intelligence, different

tips can be put into practice:
Self-knowledge. It is the
ability to feel and recognize
what is happening in your
own body, which allows you
to develop emotional
awareness, self-worth and
self-confidence.
Self-regulation. It is the
ability to regulate the
manifestation of an
emotion, in order to modify
the mood or avoid making a
mistake. This allows you to
develop self-control,
confidence, integrity and
adaptability.
The motivation. It is the
ability to encourage others
and yourself, which allows
you to develop commitment,
optimism, initiative and the
achievement of goals.
Maintaining a positive
attitude towards life is a
constant exercise.
