What are the types of intelligence exist?

Actually I think that we can live without these types. My point is that some people just go by the “IQ” test score - a high test result implies an intelligent person and a low score, a less intelligent person. Still, you can read about the nine types of intelligence on that trusted resource and have an idea about these types in a more detailed manner. Hope it will make sense for you

Good question. We’ve risen above the point where IQ is measured by posts and rocks; now we enjoy an enlighted view: Average, below average, bright, exceptional, genius, super-genius, savant, super-duper savant, God. Few make it past exceptional.
There are different kinds of animal intelligence, also. A housecat is as bright as a precocious 3-year-old human; a dog slightly less. Most animals are bright in their way, but not universally well-rounded. (nor people, for that matter).
As for groups of intelligent people, we can safely say that there isn’t always strength in numbers. Army intelligence? I rest my case.
As for kinds of aptitude, there are emotional, social, cognitive, and literary
IQs that vary within each individual. A healthy memory is needed. A brilliant sculpture artist may not be good in math, for instance. A person can desire to be a great musician, but is only capable in mechanical things. Run with what you can do, no shame. Life is a miracle, enjoy what you have. Best wishes.
