Capacity to be self aware and in tune with inner feelings, values, beliefs and thinking processes, is known as Intra personal intelligence.
This intelligence is core of personality. The person who is aware of Self, can empathise with others. In other words, all high intra personal intelligence persons can become high interpersonal intelligent people by choice. For true success and satisfaction in life, one must have high Intra personal intelligence.
This type of intelligence doesn't differentiate between superiority complex and inferiority complex. High interpersonal intelligence can be seen in academicians, researchers, literati, (poets, novelists), entrepreneurs , visionaries etc.
Why and how, there is low Intra personal intelligence? Let's take one example, in group discussion, if the person is not firm on his own beliefs and values then usually such persons may talk aggressively but wise can see, hollow base of speech. Such persons are not reliable. On the contrary, the self aware person is confident and clear about planning strategies and thus is reliable.
According to Indian Philosophy this type of intelligence is of two levels, sthul (gross) and sukshm (subtle). At gross levels our inner feelings are also gross e.g. likes, dislikes and emotions . Values and beliefs at gross level are usually based on our surroundings (family, society) and upbringing state. And thinking process at gross level is result of memories, learning, experiential understanding , reading etc. While subtle Intra personal intelligence all factors are directly related to inborn talents, spiritual orientation and guidance by Sadguru. This type of intelligence is interconnected to next type, existential intelligence.
