Howard Gardner discovered the ninth intelligence

Existential Intelligence: (Aristotle, Confucius, Einstein, Emerson, Plato, Socrates)

Individuals, who like and enjoy thinking, and questioning, and are curios about life, death, and ultimate realities. Gardner’s definition for this intelligence is to exhibit the proclivity to pose and ponder questions about life, death and ultimate realities.

Children with this intelligence may show curiosity about:

What the Earth was like years ago
Why they are here on Earth
If there is life on another planet
Where living things go after they die
If there is another dimension
If there are ghosts or spirits
Who were the famous philosophers and their thoughts about life and human being
