Valuetainment - 9 Types of Intelligence

00:00:00.000 You've interacted with somebody that what they do in their area of expertise, they do it in such a

00:00:05.200 fluid, effortless way, which is in a way intimidating to you to say, I can never be like this person in

00:00:10.540 this area. And it actually discourages you from giving your best. Well, in reality, there's nine

00:00:16.320 different forms of intelligence that you need to know about. And if you directly compete with

00:00:20.800 another person in an area that comes to them very naturally, good luck beating them. The goal is to

00:00:25.960 find out which one of these nine is yours. So stick around to the very end. On top of the nine,

00:00:30.580 there's one additional one that we rarely hear people talk about, but I think there's something

00:00:34.800 there. There are people who have that, that is a form of genius, but I'll share that with you at

00:00:39.160 the end. So let's go through it. So the nine different forms of genius. Number one, numerical

00:00:52.880 intelligence. Now, what are we talking about with this? These are people that numbers come

00:00:56.540 naturally to them. They see everything through the lens of a mathematician. Everything is angles,

00:01:01.380 formulas, numbers, data, stats. They love anything to do with that. Riddles, puzzles, strategies. Let's

00:01:07.820 solve this problem. Let's solve that problem. To them, everything, the world is a big problem that

00:01:12.420 we're all trying to solve. And they think they have the right solution for every problem. Next one is

00:01:17.580 musical intelligence. You ever meet people, they can pick up a musical instrument and just start

00:01:22.640 learning by themselves naturally. There's people like that out there. Guitar, piano. They hear

00:01:26.740 something, they can come back 30 minutes later and they can just do it on the piano. Or they can be

00:01:30.420 in the car saying, and then they can come back and do it, right? Now you may say, I can never do

00:01:35.200 something like that. But there are some people that naturally have musical intelligence. It just may not

00:01:40.700 be you. Third type of intelligence is spatial intelligence. This is the kind of intelligence where

00:01:44.600 somebody like me, I go into a house, if it's already fully designed, arts, furniture, where

00:01:49.880 the bedroom is, where the office is, where the gym is, where the sauna is, I'll say, wow,

00:01:53.860 this is beautiful. But ask me to do it from the beginning to design a house with where everything

00:01:58.560 needs to be. I have no desire to do it. I don't have that lens. Some people have that. Over there,

00:02:04.660 you need to put a clock. Over here would be a great place for us to put this little thing here.

00:02:08.760 Some people have that, some people don't. If that's you, that is a form of intelligence

00:02:12.700 called spatial intelligence. Next one is linguistic intelligence. This is people that

00:02:17.480 writing abilities, put an email together. Incredible. Giving a message, delivering a speech

00:02:22.380 at the right time, using the right words in a sensitive situation, they know how to do perfectly

00:02:26.960 well, okay? That is one of their strengths. That is a form of an intelligence on how to put words

00:02:32.420 together and deliver it in a beautiful way. Next form of intelligence is kinesthetic intelligence.

00:02:37.340 These are people that are naturally athletes, the way they dance, the way they walk, the way they perform,

00:02:42.220 the way they play sports. You give them a basketball, boom. You're like, this is the first time you play

00:02:47.040 basketball? It's my second time. How did you just do that? I don't know. It's kind of easy. Hey,

00:02:50.880 here's a baseball, hit it, boom. Just naturally, they have that athletic ability to pick things up.

00:02:56.860 You ever met somebody that has zero kinesthetic intelligence and you try to see them dance? Have

00:03:02.800 you ever heard somebody or met somebody that took dance lessons for five years and still when you watch

00:03:08.080 these people dance, you're like, you know how to dance, but you're still doing it in a very

00:03:12.280 mechanical way versus somebody who naturally can pick it up within two, three months of watching

00:03:16.320 people, they dance as if they've been dancing for 10 years. It's a form of genius. It's a form of

00:03:20.400 intelligence. Next one is intrapersonal intelligence. These are people that are very self-aware.

00:03:24.960 They're sometimes labeled as loners, but they process issues very well by themselves. They have the ability

00:03:29.760 to reason. They don't have to be around people. They can be by themselves and they're fine. They're enjoying

00:03:34.420 their own company. This is very hard for some people to do, but for them, they can be known as

00:03:38.740 critical thinkers as well as they're thinking and processing issues. This is a form of intelligence.

00:03:44.000 Now this next one is a complete opposite called interpersonal intelligence. These are people

00:03:47.620 that put them in a room. They'll meet someone. They'll exchange cards, information, make friends

00:03:51.700 very quickly. They're able to negotiate. They're able to broker deals. They're able to talk to others

00:03:56.180 and get them to collaborate and get them to work together. They're bridge builders. It's a very,

00:04:00.500 very good quality in the world of business. And that is a form of intelligence called interpersonal

00:04:05.780 intelligence. Next one is naturalistic intelligence. My son, my oldest son, since he was eight months old,

00:04:11.120 I'd go in the back in this one house that we had and I would walk him by the ball and he would walk

00:04:15.840 to the dirt, crawl to the dirt at eight, nine months. I'm like, what is this kid doing? I would take him

00:04:20.240 on the other side to see if he wants to play and build Lego. He would go to the dirt and he would

00:04:25.340 start playing with dirt. He's a year and a half. He meets a cat. He just goes up to a cat fearless.

00:04:30.280 He starts petting the cat. He sees an iguana. He just walks up to them, starts petting them. This

00:04:34.960 kid in nature, he is just a very unique character on how he views nature. It's a beautiful thing to

00:04:43.280 see this kid. We took him to Alaska and we're walking in the mountains going up. It's as if it was his

00:04:48.720 favorite trip ever. He would much rather go to Alaska to see nature than go to Bahamas to be on the

00:04:54.300 beach. He loves nature. Some people have it naturally and it is a form of intelligence.

00:04:58.700 Next one is existential intelligence. You ever had a friend that they would ask all these deep

00:05:02.860 questions. You're like, Johnny, what's wrong with you? Tell me why we exist. How do we come here?

00:05:07.260 How do we end up here? Philosopher Aristotle said this, but Plato said this, and Socrates said this,

00:05:13.200 but this person said that. And how about this? What happens when we die? Who came first? Very

00:05:18.620 spiritual. Very much about philosophy, ideas. That is their form of intelligence, which it's called

00:05:26.100 existential intelligence. And last but not least, this is not one of the nine, but I think it's

00:05:30.360 something for us to be thinking about because the whole concept of photographic memory, some say,

00:05:34.200 oh, that's not a real thing. There's no such thing as photographic memory. Matter of fact,

00:05:37.180 if you've got photographic memory, what a miserable life you have to live. You ever had a phone that had

00:05:41.200 one too many pictures, videos, text, files? What happened to the phone? It slowed down. If you do have a

00:05:45.960 photographic memory and you have all of these things here in your brain, what a miserable life

00:05:50.500 that individual could have. But there are certain people that maybe you've met who can remember

00:05:55.260 names. Some remember faces. Some can recite a conversation with them yet 17 years ago. You're

00:06:00.480 like, how the hell do you do that? Some, it's information. Some, it's numbers and stats. They

00:06:04.980 just remember certain things. Some do have that. If you look at it from the scientific standpoint,

00:06:09.540 a lot of people will tell you there's no such thing as photographic memory. But that is a gift that

00:06:13.700 some people have. And, you know, if you do know people like that, you know exactly what I'm talking

00:06:17.740 about. If you don't, you're like, Pat, there's no way something like that exists. There are some

00:06:21.020 people that have that and that helps them as well in many different areas of their life. To me,

00:06:25.840 that is a form of genius as well. So you may be asking, Pat, what do you want me to do with this

00:06:29.080 information? This is great. I'm glad I learned. I didn't know some of this stuff, but what do I do

00:06:32.460 now about this? Very simple. Number one, the person that overly impressed you is that got an

00:06:38.060 intelligence in a certain area that's not yours. Well, what is your area of intelligence and what do you

00:06:42.420 need to do to increase that to levels that maybe this person cannot reach, right? My son, I got two

00:06:46.680 boys. One of them is intrapersonal. The other one is interpersonal. One is naturalistic intelligence.

00:06:53.260 The other one is very kinesthetic. Linguistic, both of them have. But what are you going to do?

00:06:58.120 You're going to try to compete in one area that's natural to him against this side? It's not fair.

00:07:02.020 Or get him to be natural. No, it's saying, hey, this is the area you're strong at. All these other areas,

00:07:07.200 let's try to improve it and learn a little bit for the heck of it. But are we going to become a Mozart

00:07:11.060 one day? Probably not. Are you going to become the next LeBron James or the next? Probably not.

00:07:15.520 But let's do it anyways for the heck of it to learn and improve so we can have a wide range of

00:07:19.140 experiences in life. So personal, other people around you working with, as well as your kids.

00:07:24.820 This information was interesting to me, so I decided to share it with you. And if you enjoyed

00:07:28.040 this video, I got another video I did four months ago. Shocking facts about the monopoly with education,

00:07:33.700 right? It's an interesting phenomenon on what's going on with colleges and universities. If you've never

00:07:38.080 seen this clip before, this video before, click here to watch that video. Take care, everybody. Bye-bye.
