What if we told you your IQ represented only a part of your intelligence? According to a theory by Harvard psychologist  Howard Gardner, our schools were unfair to us for putting certain types of intelligence on a pedestal while ignoring the rest.  Gardner's theory explains that people do not have a fixed intellectual capacity; but rather, many kinds of intelligence. For example, a person can be musically intelligent while being bad at math. Gardner describes these 9 kinds of intelligence that a person  can have. Here's a visual representation of all of them.
