Multiple Intelligence. 2. Spatial/Visual Intelligence

Spatial or Visual Intelligence is capacity to think in images and to visualise accurately and abstractly. This intelligence is usually seen in expertise of civil, architecture engineering, interior designers, surgeons, fashion designers, mechanical engineering, aeronautical engineering, pilots etc.  

In such situations abstract measurement of space and dimensions along with logical imaginations is combined. Imagine the intelligence of civil engineer who is drawing blue print for his construction site, sitting in his office. 


Understand how genius is the surgeon's spatial intelligence who operates on various patients having different sizes, shapes and age. With his anatomical study, doctor has to do abstract imaginations to locate organ e.g. appendix( part of intestine) and avoid injury to artery or nerve. Best surgeons do very clean operation since their spatial intelligence is very high. 

Thus this intelligence is mainly related to judgement of dimensions length, breadth, hight, distance. Also this intelligence includes discrimination between two shapes, structures, or objects. Aesthetic sense and creativity is also integral part of spatial intelligence. 

May I say here, the  beholder of spatial intelligence is the person who has tremendous power of judgement which can bring logical imaginations in Reality in the Forms.
