Intrapersonal
Sensitivity to one’s own feelings, goals, and anxieties, and the capacity to plan and act in light of one’s own traits. Intrapersonal intelligence is not particular to specific careers; rather, it is a goal for every individual in a complex modern society, where one has to make consequential decisions for oneself (Gardner).

Matt’s Success Story of MI Theory in Practice
Scenario: A short time after moving to a memory care facility, a woman was losing a significant amount of weight and the staff believed it was dementia-related. This type of weight loss can cause a person to be placed on hospice.
Care based on MI results: After speaking with the woman’s family, I discovered that this woman had always enjoyed journaling. I also determined that the woman possessed intrapersonal intelligence and may prefer eating alone. The woman spent the next meal away from her peers and ate all of her food.
