Professor Howard Gardner encapsulated an Octet into the Frames of Mind:: Theory of Multiple Intelligences, which propounds that humans have several different ways of processing information, and these ways are relatively independent of one another.

1. Visual-Spatial:: Picture Smart:: Visualizing the world in 3D

2. Linguistic-Verbal:: Word Smart:: Finding the right words to express what you mean

3. Intra-Personal:: Self Smart:: Understanding Yourself, What you feel, and what you want

4. Interpersonal:: People-Smart:: Sensing People's Feelings and Motives

5. Logical-Mathematical:: Number/Reasoning Smart:: Quantifying things, making Hypotheses, and proving them

6. Musical:: Music Smart:: Discerning sounds, their pitch, tone, rhythm, and timbre

7. Bodily-Kinesthetic:: Body Smart:: Coordinating your Mind with your Body

8. Naturalist:: Nature Smart:: Understanding Living things and reading nature

The theory is a critique of the standard intelligence theory, which emphasizes the correlation among abilities, as well as traditional measures like IQ tests that typically only account for linguistic, logical, and spatial abilities.
