What types of intelligent people are there?

[Frank Davis]

Hi, I was on the same boots a few months ago and should admit that nobody is perfect, but the existence of 9 intelligences is possible in some ways. I recommend this cool article about what are the 9 types of intelligence https://headway.media/9-types-of-intelligence-how-to-improve-all-of... to light up all of them. I hope with the help of these examples I clarified your confusion.

Highly sensitive people (as per Elaine Aaron’s definition [1]): People having these 3 characteristics:
hypersensitivity to external stimuli
a greater depth of cognitive processing
high emotional reactivity

Being an HSP is considered neither a gift nor a disability by definition, yet I consider as one type for possessing superior sensing abilities, which can be very useful if used correctly. Many very intelligent people are also HSPs.
(Child) prodigies: People who possess very high intelligence - usually having a very high IQ of 160+ SD 15, and demonstrate this from a very young age.
High IQ people: General umbrella term for all people with an IQ of 120+.
Gifted (what I call the “cognitive term”): People with an IQ of 130+ SD 15, but also highly developed in other, more specific cognitive abilities.
Gifted (what I call the “academic term”): Both highly intelligent & highly academically achieving. [2]
Geniuses (what I call “IQ geniuses”): People who have an IQ of 160+ SD 15, often accompanied by other highly developed cognitive abilities.
