Hello i hope you are good🩷🩷💌💌

Im gonna explain the last expositions :)!

Existential Intelligence:

Historically, our society has predominantly valued logical-mathematical intelligence, often overshadowing those whose strengths lie elsewhere. Fortunately, Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences has broadened our understanding by introducing various types of intelligences.

One such type is existential intelligence, defined by Gardner as the ability to explore and contemplate profound philosophical questions concerning human existence. This includes considerations about life's origins and what may occur post-mortem.

Individuals with pronounced existential intelligence possess the ability to view the world through a philosophical lens, focusing on helping others, engaging in self-care, and upholding values such as truth and love.

Those with high existential intelligence often pursue professions that involve deep thinking and empathy, such as psychology, therapy, teaching, or leadership within religious communities.

Verbal-Linguistic Intelligence:

Verbal-linguistic intelligence is among the eight types of intelligence identified in Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences. Gardner describes intelligence as "the ability to solve problems or create products that are valued within one or more cultural contexts."

This form of intelligence pertains to the capability to use language effectively. It involves a mastery over the mechanics of language, including syntax, phonetics, semantics, and the pragmatics of communication. People with strong verbal-linguistic intelligence excel in expressing themselves, whether through spoken or written means, and can manipulate language to create poetry, stories, metaphors, and perform abstract reasoning.

While verbal-linguistic intelligence is closely associated with the ability to craft and understand language, it's distinct from bilingualism, though it may facilitate the learning of new languages. It is one of the most extensively researched intelligences, along with logical-mathematical intelligence, and is often considered a universal intelligence due to its fundamental role in human interactions. 

Mathematical-Logical Intelligence:

The logical-mathematical intelligence is one of the eight intelligences outlined in Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences, first introduced in his 1980s book "Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences." This type of intelligence involves the ability to use reasoning, analyze cause-and-effect relationships, and solve problems using numbers and abstract visual information.

According to Gardner, a developmental psychologist and professor, intelligence is not a fixed attribute. Instead, individuals are born with potential in nine different areas of intelligence, varying in their strengths across these domains and possibly evolving over time. The logical-mathematical intelligence is crucial for developing skills in areas that involve precise thinking and logical decision making.
