Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner described nine different types of intelligence in his book Frames Of Mind: The Theory Of Multiple Intelligences.
Each ‘type’ of intelligence can be an area of strength to a certain degree, where one excels. Everyone scores differently in this and has different levels of each type of intelligence.

Multiple Intelligences

Some people love interacting with friends, family and colleagues. They understand body language, and communicate better and are sensitive to others feelings, perspectives and viewpoints. This super-important intelligence type can be applied to most careers.

Logical-mathematical intelligence types can be great economists, scientists, analysts, auditors and accountants.

Logical-Mathematical - Number/Reasoning Smart

Most of us think of intelligence in a one-dimensional way, that is thrust upon us in our formative years. Excellence in academia, passing IQ tests and the ability to retain facts and figures in our memory is generally considered the definition of intelligence. 
In the past few decades, this has completely changed, with intelligence now being considered as a learned skill, having multiple dimensions and variety.

Being Intelligent

Some people are masters of language. They can learn multiple languages, write great poetry, prose or speeches. They can communicate well and explain complex meaning. This universal type of intelligence is found in journalists, public speakers and writers.
Radio jockeys, politicians, TV hosts, and lawyers are great careers for linguistic intelligence types.
