Özet
<p><strong>Abstract </strong></p><p><br></p><p>Howard Earl Gardner (1983, 1999) developed the Multiple Intelligences Theory by criticizing the traditional understanding of intelligence within the scope of his studies on intelligence and discussed the plural nature of intelligence. Within the scope of his theory, which forms the basis of modern intelligence, Gardner; has drawn attention to the necessity to evaluate intelligence not only as a one-sided ability but also as a field that can be developed and consists of different dimensions. In this context, the intelligence fields are ‘verbal/linguistic intelligence’, ‘logical/mathematical intelligence’, ‘musical/rhythmic intelligence’, ‘visual/spatial intelligence’, ‘bodily/kinesthetic intelligence’, ‘interpersonal intelligence’, ‘intrapersonal intelligence’, ‘naturalistic intelligence’, and ‘existential intelligence’ as it is possible to classify.</p><p>Intrapersonal intelligence, which is one of the intelligence types in Multiple Intelligences Theory, can be defined as a person’s self-knowledge and the ability to exhibit behaviors compatible with his/her environment by using the knowledge and understanding she/he has about himself/herself. This type of intelligence; enables the person to know himself/herself and his/her feelings, to be aware of who she/he is and what she/he wants to do, and to act with the awareness of how to behave and what to direct. People with developed intrapersonal intelligence are equipped with the ability to manage themselves and their environment.</p><p>Multiple intelligence fields form the basis of research carried out by many disciplines such as psychology, sociology, education, literature, and business. Within the scope of this study, it is aimed to deal with the field of intrapersonal intelligence from a conceptual point of view. The study aims to contribute to the literature in the context of multiple intelligences and communication studies.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Intelligence, Multiple Intelligences Theory, Personal Intelligence, Intrapersonal Intelligence, Intrapersonal Communication.</p>
