According to Dr. Howard Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences, the theory contends that human intelligence is not a single complex entity or a unified set of processes (the dominant view in the field of psychology). Instead, Gardner posits that there are several relatively autonomous intelligences, and that an individual's intellectual profile reflects a unique configuration of these intelligences. And these intelligences are the following:

Linguistic intelligence ("word smart") – this has something to do with people who are good speaker. They express themselves with the use of words.

Logical-mathematical intelligence ("number/reasoning smart") – this M.I. has something to do with logic, reasoning, number or critical thinking. People with this has to do with having the capacity to understand the underlying principles of some kind of causal system.

Visual-Spatial intelligence ("picture smart") - This area deals with spatial judgment and the ability to visualize with the mind's eye and have a good way of expressing through drawings or arts

Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence ("body smart") – bodily motion, good at physical activities like sports or dance

Musical intelligence ("music smart") – express through music, They have sensitivity to rhythm, pitch, meter, tone, melody or timbre as to singers or composers

Interpersonal intelligence ("people smart") – they are good are making interactions with other people, they are sensitive to others’ feelings or emotion and they can work well in a group

Intrapersonal intelligence ("self smart") – they have a deep understanding of themselves, they know themselves well; introspective and self-reflective capacities, 

Naturalist intelligence ("nature smart") – nurturing and relating to natural surroundings

Existential intelligence (“spiritual smart”) – religious type. (This has been further explored by researcher that is why is not sometime seen or used.)
