When you hear the word intelligence, you might instantly think of IQ tests. Intelligence is frequently characterized as our intellectual potential, which is something we are born with, can be tested, and is difficult to modify.
However, in recent years, new perspectives on intelligence have developed. The hypothesis of many intelligence types, presented by Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner, is one such concept.
Humans have different intelligence types, namely–emotional, mental, intuitive, and somatic. Many individuals have developed some types more and underdeveloped the rest.

How Can You Use The Different Types?
Psychics or Intuitives often have a highly developed instinctive intelligence. Intuitive intelligence usually shows up as direct knowing, suspicions, precognitive dreams, and imaginative breakthroughs. So, individuals with very developed intuitive intellect can ask simple yes/no questions and receive an intuitive answer. This can be added with other intelligence to make the best decision possible.
You can use all of your intelligence by taking time and following a simple flowchart. When facing a problem, tap into your intuition. Listen to what your gut tells you. Then listen to your emotions. If you feel happy, sad, or upset with what your intuition says. Then, access whatever you know or get complete facts about the problem. Then, make a well-informed decision. It takes practice, however, as you get the hang of it your quality of life will improve drastically. You will be able to access all the tools you possess. It will help you to cut out the liars, and manipulators. You will make healthy and balanced decisions. Therefore, you will be able to shut out toxic people in your life.
