This intelligence has to do with interaction with others. Individuals who have high interpersonal intelligence
are characterized by their sensitivity to others' moods, feelings, temperaments and motivations, and their
ability to cooperate in order to work as part of a group. According to Gardner, inter- and intrapersonal
intelligence are often misunderstood as being extroverted or liking other people. Those with high
interpersonal intelligence communicate effectively and empathize easily with others, and may be either
leaders or followers. They often enjoy discussion and debate. Gardner has equated this with the emotional
intelligence of Goleman [11]. Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize one's own and other people's
emotions, to discriminate between different feelings, and to use emotional information to guide thinking and
behaviour [12]. Counsellors, business people, politicians, and community organizers are excellent in this kind
of intelligence. The key features of this intelligence are summarized as follows:

intelligence is generally good at physical activities such as sports, dancing, acting, and making things.
