Gardner's Eight Intelligences

Howard Gardner views intelligence as multiple abilities that come in packages.

• Savant Syndrome- is a condition in which a person otherwise limited in mental ability has an exceptional specific skill, such as in computation of drawing. 
• Gardner's Eight Intelligences- Logical/Mathematical, Verbal/Linguistics, Interpersonal Skills, Intrapersonal Skills, Musical, Bodily-Kinesthetic, Visual/ Spatial, Naturalistic, Existential.

If the Friends characters had savant syndrome they would fall into this category of the eight intelligences:

• Joey- Intrapersonal Skills, because he is an actor and they are supposed to excel in this intelligence.
• Phoebe- Musical, because she is a musician and they are supposed to excel in the level.
• Rachel- Visual/Spatial, because she is into fashion and this level contains artists and fashion is a type of art. 
• Ross- Existential, because he is into history and coming up with new philosophies and this level is dominated by philosophers.
• Chandler- Logical/Mathematical, because his first career was in data processing and this level is excelled by engineers and careers with math.
• Monica- Visual/Spatial, because cooking is a form of art.
