Multiple Intelligence
Throughout history, researchers and psychologists have proposed various definitions of intelligence. Although the topic has been of significant interest in psychology, no standard definition of intelligence has been developed. Howard Gardner and Robert Sternberg are psychologists who proposed a multiple intelligence theory explaining that people possess different gifts instead of one. Multiple intelligence is an essential concept for a learner because it helps a person to identify the different gifts they possess
Howard Gardner and Robert Sternberg contend that intelligence is not confined to one single general skill. According to Hanafin, the multiple intelligence theory assumes that people do not possess only a unique gift but possess a variety of gifts. Therefore, people have different intelligences, but one gift is more pronounced than the other gift in each. In this concept, Gardner outlines eight different types of interconnected bits of intelligence that people may have which include musical, naturalist, intrapersonal, interpersonal, logical-mathematician, bodily kinaesthetic, linguistic, and visual-spatial (Hanafin). A person might be strong in a particular area like having musical intelligence and likely possess other gifts like interpersonal, linguistic, naturalistic, and intrapersonal intelligence.
I possess various gifts as outlined by the two psychologists in the multiple intelligence concept. My gifts include Visual-spatial, linguistic, musical, and interpersonal intelligence.

I know these are my gifts because I possess characteristics that support my abilities. I have a visual-spatial intelligence because I enjoy writing and reading, great at solving puzzles, and good at interpreting graphs, charts, and graphs. Additionally, I have verbal intelligence because I am good at explaining things, memorizing information, reading, and writing stories. My abilities in appreciating music performances, remembering melodies and songs, and enjoying singing as well as playing musical gadgets make me believe that I have musical intelligence. Finally, I possess interpersonal intelligence because I am good at creating positive relationships as well as resolving conflicts with others.
Conclusion
Multiple intelligence is an essential concept for a learner because it helps a person to identify the different gifts they possess. The approach helps an individual to understand the different gifts they may possess to enhance diversity. Indeed, knowing my different gifts has helped me significantly in targeting my various interests in life.
