Multiple Intelligences

Logical-Mathematical Intelligence

The Capacity for Inductive* and Deductive** Thinking and Reasoning, as well as the Use of Numbers and the Recognition of Abstract Patterns. Recognizing relationships, Patterns, and trends.

Logical intelligence is essential in professions such as Mathematicians, Detectives/Police, and Scientists/Engineers/Doctors.

*Inductive reasoning is the process of using examples and observations to conclude. The prediction using an earlier pattern is also an example of inductive reasoning.

**Deductive reasoning is the process of making a logical argument by applying known facts, definitions, properties, and the laws of logic. IF-THEN is a typical deductive reasoning process.
