Interpersonal: the ability to understand and discern the feelings and intentions of others.

At the heart of this intelligence are our human self-reflective abilities by which we can step outside of ourselves and think about our own lives. It involves our uniquely human propensity to want to know the meaning, purpose, and significance of things. It involves our awareness of the inner world of the self, emotions, values, beliefs, and our various quests for genuine spirituality.

Musical: encompasses the capability to recognize and compose musical pitches, tones, and rhythms.

Naturalist: The naturalist intelligence involves the full range of knowing that occurs in and through our encounters with the natural world including our recognition, appreciation, and understanding of the natural environment

Kinesthetic:
is the ability to use one's mental abilities to coordinate one's own bodily movements. This intelligence challenges the popular belief that mental and physical activities are unrelated.

Spatial: gives one the ability to manipulate and create mental images in order to solve problems. This intelligence represents the knowing that occurs through the shapes, images, patterns, designs, and textures we see with our external eyes, but also includes all of the images we are able to conjure inside our heads.

Active learning theorists encourage instructors to consider the motivational context for students during course design. The premise is that students learn best when they feel a need to know. Integrating exercises into the curriculum prompts this need to know. Activities which provide rewards or prizes serve as a motivational force. This new generation of students is characterized as having low thresholds for boredom as well as having short attention spans (Felicia, 2007)
