The theory of multiple intelligences focuses primarily on eight types of intelligence, namely – logical, mathematical, linguistic, spatial, kinesthetic/bodily, interpersonal, intrapersonal and musical. Later on, two more abstract kinds were included. These were natural and existential kinds of intelligences. It is anticipated that every individual has all these intelligences to some extent, but the difference lies in the pattern of how strong or weak is the understanding of them.

Dermatoglyphic Multiple Intelligence Test (DMIT) is very reliable. DMIT is done by analyzing the shapes of all 10 fingerprints on 10 finger tips of an individual. DMIT gives inborn talents, basic behavior patterns, born habits of the individual.

The study of dermatoglyphic and intelligence can be briefly summarized in the following points.

  • The neural correlates to the various types of intelligences and personality types have a profound connection with specific areas of human brain.
  • The Neocortex is the connection between two differently functional brain halves. The left and right brain halves are not completely isolated from each other and so does the logical intelligence not remain unaffected from the emotional intelligence quotient and vice versa.
  • The fingerprints are the way to understand how our brain is wired up since our births.
  • People can be counseled regarding their behavioral characteristics, inherent potentials, skills and knack.
