A more accurate translation of the title is «you’re smarter than you think.» Educator Thomas Armstrong means exactly this: we have not one intellect, but nine, and each of them is developed to a different degree.
Someone is well versed in the area, likes to observe nature and find patterns (natural intelligence). Others have great control over their bodies, grasping on the fly new dance moves and fighting stances in judo (bodily intelligence). For the third native element — numbers, graphs and complex structures (logical intelligence). Armstrong’s book is written primarily for teenagers to help them understand their abilities and develop their weaknesses. But for adults who would like to discover new talents in themselves or just try themselves in something new, it will also be useful.
