How many intelligences are there according to MI and what are they?

According to Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI), there are eight distinct intelligences. These are: linguistic intelligence, logical-mathematical intelligence, spatial intelligence, bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, musical intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, intrapersonal intelligence, and naturalistic intelligence. Gardner later suggested a ninth intelligence, existential intelligence, although it is less widely recognized. Each intelligence represents different ways individuals process information and interact with the world.
