Intrapersonal Intelligence Intrapersonal intelligence - refers to the capacity to accurately know one’s self, including knowledge of one’s own strengths, motivations, goals, and feelings (Examples: entrepreneurs, therapists, etc.). Intrapersonal intelligence focuses on the self and involves the ability to be aware of and understand one's own feelings, strengths, weaknesses and overall behaviour. Students with a strength in this intelligence tend to reflect readily on their own learning, their feelings and behaviours. They tend to be good at goal setting and enjoy activities which further their understanding of themselves as individuals. Similar to the faculty of interpersonal intelligence is that of intrapersonal intelligence - our cognitive ability to understand and sense our "self." Intrapersonal intelligence allows us to tap into our being - who we are, what feelings we have, and why we are this way. A strong intrapersonal intelligence can lead to self-esteem, self-enhancement, and a strength of character that can be used to solve internal problems. Conversely, a weak intrapersonal intelligence - as is the case of autistic children - prevents even a recognition of the self as a separate entity from the surrounding environment. Intrapersonal intelligence often is not recognized from the outside unless it is conveyed in some form, whether it be intangible as rage or joy, or tangible as a poem or a painting.
