Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences identifies several distinct types of intelligences that individuals may possess in varying degrees. The recognized intelligences in Gardner's framework include verbal-linguistic, musical-rhythmic, and visual-spatial intelligences.

Verbal-linguistic intelligence pertains to the ability to use words effectively, whether in writing or speaking. Musical-rhythmic intelligence involves sensitivity to rhythm, pitch, and melody. Visual-spatial intelligence refers to the capacity to think in three-dimensional terms, important for fields like architecture and art.

Emotional intelligence, while a significant concept in education and psychology, was developed by other theorists, primarily Daniel Goleman, and is not part of Gardner's original classifications. Therefore, it is the option that does not align with Gardner's list of intelligences when discussing his specific theory.
