Whereas linguistic and
logical-mathematical intelligences are centrally addressed and nurtured by the three 'R's of traditional education, other forms of intelligence, including musical, bodily-kinesthetic and spatial forms, provide alternative means of accessing knowledge, according to Gardner's scheme. Gardner's theory catalogues the different styles of learning that students bring to the classroom.
| Linguistic: Verbal communication abilities |
| Logical-mathematical: Mathematical and logical skills |
| Musical: Performance, composition and appreciation of musical patterns |
| Bodily-kinesthetic: Using the body and bodily to understand the environment |
| Spatial: Ability to navigate space, understand, map and apply spatial patterns |
| Interpersonal: Understanding of human motivation/behaviour to further goals |
| Intrapersonal: Using self-knowledge to organise their life |
Other candidates for multiple intelligences include 'naturalist', 'spiritual', 'existential' and 'moral' but these have not been formally included in Gardner's template." (Ref: Reinhard 2006)
