Logical, existential, linguistic: there is not just one kind of intelligence
It often happens, especially during adolescence, that one realizes that one is more gifted in languages than in mathematics, or vice versa. Or that one's thought processes are different from those of a friend or classmate. This aspect depends not only on personal interests, but also on the way our brains work.
In fact, the way to process information is different from person to person, but it can be grouped into some predefined categories. Some are more predisposed to creative work, others to relationships with other people, and still others can hear and understand music in a way unthinkable for others.
According to a study carried out since the 1980s by the American psychologist Howard Gardner, we have as many as nine different types of intelligence, to which the tenth would be added. These intelligences could also theoretically be linked to certain types of jobs.

Naturalistic intelligence
It is the ability to identify relationships between natural objects, but at the same time also to imagine environments and experiments that have nature as their subject. Usually the mind is predisposed to jobs such as biologist, geologist, rancher or farmer.
Existential/theoretical intelligence
This intelligence results in a great capacity for introspection, and for reasoning both about oneself and the circumstantial world, trying to find the answers to the great issues of life. Physicists and philosophers usually possess this type of mind.
Intrapersonal intelligence
This intelligence results in a large degree of introspection, and generally a good ability to convey one's emotions to others as well. Actors, entrepreneurs or writers usually have this kind of intelligence.
Body intelligence/kinetics
As the name implies, this type of intelligence results in great ability and mastery of bodily movements, including nonverbal communication. Sportsmen are the best expression of this type of brain.
Interpersonal intelligence
Politicians and traders are usually masters of this kind of intelligence, which makes it much easier than others to connect with other people, recognizing their feelings and emotions right away, and also immediately understanding how to relate to them.
Musical intelligence
This intelligence naturally makes one capable of recognizing sounds and rhythms. For example, those who possess the absolute ear are usually repositories of this kind of mind. Singers, composers and instrumentalists in most cases naturally have this ability, or at any rate spend a large part of their lives in training this kind of talent.
Linguistic/verbal intelligence
This intelligence results in greater simplicity, for example, in language learning. The preferred form of expression for these people is writing and speaking, which they find very natural. Among the most suitable jobs for this type of intelligence poet, writer, journalist, lawyer, and even teacher.
Logical/mathematical intelligence
This intelligence rewards logic. So, individuals who develop this type of ability are able to find obvious relationships and logical links between problems, as well as being inclined for the study of mathematics and physics. Scientists, engineers and computer scientists usually take advantage of this particular form of intelligence.
Visual/spatial intelligence
This ability is very interesting, and it makes it possible to reason and see space and dimensions much more easily and almost automatically. So, representing objects in a physical space, as well as drawing and reading maps, will not be a problem either. Painter, designer and architect are usually some of the jobs for which this intelligence is most useful.

University is a fundamental step in the lives of many young people. Often, the choice of academic path is based on a few principles: what we want to study, our willingness to travel from home, but also the reputation of the university we would like to enrol in.
Every year, many rankings are made on which are the best universities to study at. We would like to focus on the one compiled by the QS World University Rankings, which takes into account six factors: academic reputation, employer reputation, faculty/student ratio, citations per faculty, international student ratio and international lecturer ratio.
British universities dominate the top spots, but Swiss and French universities are also very good. Here are the top ten universities to study at in Europe

For centuries, if not millennia, the world of science has been an almost exclusively male environment, with women excluded from universities, academies and generally from all places of cultural discussion. Despite this, women have always been able to make enormous contributions to science, since ancient times.
Indeed, over the centuries there has certainly been no shortage of female scientists who, through their studies, have been able to give enormous impetus to hitherto little-studied fields, but also to establish themselves as the best in a totally male-dominated environment. Consequently, it is fair to give due credit to these figures.
In this short article we would like to introduce you to some of the most influential and revolutionary women in the world of scientific discovery of all kinds.
