Others will be strongly respond to Visual texture, line, or three-dimensional space. Artists, decorators, designers, sculptors, photographers and architects must be in possession of this form of intelligence to succeed in their fields.

A person with musical intelligence cannot be necessarily playing or composing music, but it will be a passionate listener, come out much more the ' experience of an average person.

Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence is very high in those people who Excel in sports and dance. And ' also a great resource in actors. They are extremely attuned to which all parts of their bodies are in space and are able to exert a very subtle but powerful control of all their muscles.
