What type of intelligence? There are many types.
To be socially intelligent isn't logically intelligent, isn't mechanically intelligent, isn't linguistically intelligent, isn't artistically intelligent, as some examples.
This only highlights, why everyone is different.

Types of Intelligence
There are indeed several types of intelligence, each reflecting different capabilities and skills. Howard Gardner proposed the theory of multiple intelligences, which highlights various ways individuals can excel. Here are some key types:
Linguistic Intelligence
This refers to the ability to use language effectively, including speaking, reading, and writing. Poets, writers, and effective communicators often exhibit high linguistic intelligence.
Logical-Mathematical Intelligence
Strong problem-solving skills and logical reasoning characterize this type. It is often associated with mathematicians, scientists, and analytical thinkers. People with this intelligence tend to excel in tasks that require analytical skills and structured thinking.
Spatial Intelligence
Individuals with high spatial intelligence can visualize and manipulate objects in space. This type is common among architects, artists, and engineers.
Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence
This intelligence involves using one’s body effectively to solve problems or create products. Dancers, athletes, and craftspeople often possess high levels of this intelligence.
Musical Intelligence
Those who are musically intelligent typically have a profound sensitivity to rhythm, pitch, and melody. Musicians, composers, and music critics often exhibit this type.
Interpersonal Intelligence
This relates to the ability to understand and interact effectively with others. It involves empathy, social skills, and the ability to read social cues. Leaders, teachers, and counselors often show high interpersonal intelligence.
Intrapersonal Intelligence
Intrapersonal intelligence is the ability to understand oneself, including emotions, motivations, and desires. Individuals with this type often engage in self-reflection and self-assessment.
Naturalistic Intelligence
This involves the ability to recognize and categorize plants, animals, and other aspects of the natural world. Biologists, ecologists, and environmentalists often exhibit high naturalistic intelligence.
Emotional Intelligence
While somewhat overlapping with interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligence, emotional intelligence focuses on understanding and managing one's own emotions and the emotions of others. It plays a crucial role in social interactions and relationships.
Each individual exhibits a unique combination of these intelligences, contributing to their distinct preferences, strengths, and worldviews. Recognizing these differences can lead to a more inclusive understanding of human potential.

@DeWayfarer lots of low IQ people are extremely socially intelligent.

@AthrillatheHunt There are other tests, yet yes IQ tests are often not among them. Hence even the AI statement gave: "Interpersonal Intelligence" as opposed to Intrapersonal.
