Seven Types of Intelligence

The multi factor theory of intelligence includes seven types of cognitive abilities which include:
    Verbal comprehension is the understanding of ideas in word form.

    Verbal fluency is the ability to write and speak with ease. This ability is not the same as verbal meaning because a person who knows very few words may be able to use them fluently, whereas a person who knows many words may be halting in his or her speech.

    Reasoning is the ability to solve complex problems and profit from experience and plan new activities based on experience.

    Spatial skills is the ability to perceive size and spatial relationships correctly.

    Numerical skills is the ability to add, subtract, multiply and divide. This ability is not the same as mathematical reasoning ability, because it involves only the four fundamental mathematical processes.

    Perceptual speed is the ability to identify stimulus objects quickly. In developing reading skills for example, it is necessary to identify entire words without carefully examining each letter in the word.

    Rote memory is the ability to retain and revive impressions or to recall and recognize past experiences.

The 7 types of intelligence are also called primary mental abilities.
