This piece delves into the concept of multiple intelligences and their impact on interpersonal relationships. We all have preferred ways of understanding information, which shapes our interactions with others. Through Howard Gardner's work on intelligences, including linguistic and bodily-kinesthetic, and Robert Sternberg's theories on creative, analytical, and practical intelligence, we explore why some people rub us the wrong way. By considering these learning modalities, we can gain insights into our feelings and preferences, ultimately enhancing our understanding of ourselves and our connections with others.

Intelligences and You What does this all mean?
Non amote, Sabidi(Sabidius), nec possum dicerequare(why). • Hoc tantum possum dicere; non amote.---Martial, 1.32 • I do not like you, Sabidius, nor am I able to say why. • I am able to say this much; I do not like you.
Do some people just rub you the wrong way, and you can’t figure out why? • Look at their modes of learning or intelligences and we might find the answer.
Garner’s work on Multiple intelligences states that all humans have a preferred way to relate and understand information. One area is predominant with all areas being represented in some fashion.

PRACTICAL PEOPLE • Want to apply knowledge to solve a problem • knowledge is to help people’s problems • Want to develop a comparison between old and new information
ANALYTICAL PEOPLE • Must explain why • Identify key parts and they “fit” together • Compare and contrast the old with the new
