Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence

Description

Skill in controlling bodily movements and in the ability to manipulate objects combine in this intelligence, which has been valued in many cultures as the harmony between mind and body - the mind trained to use the body properly and the body to respond to the mind. It reaches its height in dance, which has supernatural connotations in some cultures, and in other performing roles. Low bodily-kinesthetic intelligence is equated, in India for example, with immaturity.

Context

One of the separate or multiple intelligences put forward by Howard Gardner.
