Ever since researcher Howard Gardner pointed out there is not just one kind of human intelligence, but that there are rather multiple ways in which it manifests, western standardized education has been brought into question and numerous initiatives have been developed that seek to adapt methodologies and contents to learning strategies that better fit every person.

According to Universia, this discovery has made it possible to set a link among 12 types of intelligence and certain professions better fitted to each of them:

Linguistic Intelligence: Journalism, Advertisement, Public Relations, Humanities, Political Science.

Logic-Mathematical Intelligence: Computer Sciences, Exact Sciences, Engineering, Business Administration, Philosophy.

Spatial Intelligence: Visual Arts, Design, Photography, Architecture, Advertisement.

Musical Intelligence: Sound Engineering, Audiovisual Production, Music, Cinematography, Dancing.

Kinetic-Physical Intelligence: Physiotherapy, Sports, Dancing.

Interpersonal Intelligence: Communication Sciences, Human Resources, Marketing, Sociology, Anthropology, Law, Medicine.

Intrapersonal Intelligence: Psychology, Pedagogy, Social Work.

Naturalist Intelligence: Agronomy, Biology, Biotechnology, Chemistry, Tourism, Medicine, Botanic, Veterinary, Geography.

Emotional Intelligence: Law, Business Administration, Political Science.

Existential Intelligence: Philosophy, Sociology, Psychology, Anthropology.

Creative Intelligence: Design, Photography, Architecture, Engineering.

Collaborative Intelligence: Sociology, Economy, Anthropology, Journalism, Ecology.

This is a simple suggestion on the kinds of capacities that make a person more or less suited to face challenges set by every professional career. This does not mean that vocation does not play a key role when choosing, adapting and completing a course of study.
