. Analytical intelligence – It is an ability of logical reasoning, finding reasons and rational meaning about any event, phenomenon or a subject. It also includes abstract thinking. It also includes mathematical and verbal skills. It is mainly concerned with analysis, evaluation, critique, compare/contrast, assessments etc.
Creative intelligence – It is an ability to deal with new situations. It includes discovering, inventing, imaginations, predicting.
Practical intelligence– Ability to apply knowledge to real world. It is also an ability to shape ones environment or to construct it. Mainly concerned with application, implementing, using, putting in action and materializing things.
