Visual/ Spatial Intelligence
According to Howard Gardner's Theory of Intelligence, out of the 9 types of intelligence, one is visual or spatial intelligence. This type of intelligence is meant to be for those who learn things by visualizing them. Such learners understand and learn things quicker if they are presented to them visually. Such people like to build, draw, create and design new things. They believe in what they see. Things tend to be simple for such people as they do not complicate things by thinking way beyond what they see. They're good at solving puzzles, mazes, graphs and chart reading.
