SPATIAL INTELLIGENCE:

world internally in your mind. It's the ability to hold the world visually in your mind "the way a sailor or
pilot navigates the large spatial world, or the way a chess player or sculptor represents a more
circumscribed spatial world". It gives you the ability to know where you are in space. If you find it easy
to visualise things as though you were an observer taking up different positions, like a fly-on-the-
wall, then you are strong in this intelligence. Spatial intelligence predominates in the arts and in science.
