INTRODUCTION

People are smart in many ways and your chances of having a successful career and a happy life may have a lot to do with your knowledge of the kind of Intelligence that is strongest in you. Being skilled at recognizing and using your unique talents has its advantages. Your job will be personally fulfilling if you use your innate strengths. Wouldn't you rather do something that is natural and effortless to you?

1. As we discussed in class, There are several different kinds of intelligence. They are listed below for your reference.

Kinesthetic - Body Smart (The book calls this "Physical")
