There are many different types of intelligence, according to some research. Yes, there’s the kind that helps you score well on exams (linguistic intelligence may be useful for remembering written content, while the logical/mathematical kind could assist in solving sums).
But others, like spatial intelligence, might be overlooked.
Other theories, like the Triad of Intelligence, suggest we can break smarts down into three broad groups: cognitive intelligence, emotional intelligence, and integrative intelligence.
That last kind has been called the “rarest” form of intelligence, though that’s hard to prove for sure.
