(movement skills, dance, sports), musical (sensitivity and ability of
expression with sounds, tones, melodies, rhythms), intrapersonal (the
ability to understand and control yourself), interpersonal (the ability
to understand and adapt to the others), naturalist (the ability to understand and utilize the environment).
