Detailed explanation-1: -Gardner proposed that people may possess 7 different types of intelligence: Logical/Mathematical, Musical, Spatial, Bodily-Kinesthetic, Naturalist, Interpersonal, and Intrapersonal. At the time, Gardner also toyed with the idea of including existential/spiritual intelligence.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gardner’s theory initially listed seven intelligences which work together: linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, spatial, interpersonal and intrapersonal; he later added an eighth, naturalist intelligence and says there may be a few more.

Detailed explanation-3: -Existential Intelligence Sensitivity and capacity to tackle deep questions about human existence, such as the meaning of life, why do we die, and how did we get here. Skills – Reflective and deep thinking, design abstract theories.

Detailed explanation-4: -Gardener kept on developing his efforts in this field and in 1996 he added another type, naturalistic intelligence (Jarwan and Abdel, 2016), then he added a new modality, existential intelligence, as the ninth type in the list of multiple intelligences (Gardner, 1999).

Detailed explanation-5: -Existential intelligence involves an individual’s ability to use collective values and intuition to understand others and the world around them. People who excel in this intelligence typically are able to see the big picture.
