Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence

Bethany LaShell

General Characteristics

People displaying bodily-kinesthetic intelligence can “use one’s body in highly differentiated and skilled ways, for expressive as well as goal-directed purposes,” (Gardner 1993, pg. 206). You may recognize them as the boys with ants in their pants or the girls who dance from room to room.
