Talent is what ? ‘Talent’ is something that one is born with; it is your natural ability 'to do something' without really thinking about it. For example, you may have no experience in playing tennis, but if you have the talent, you may have no problem keeping the ball in play.
Intelligence is your natural ability 'to apply knowledge'. It is a natural capacity to acquire, adapt, modify, extend and use information in order to solve problems. Therefore, intelligence in simple terms is the 'talent' to cope with unpredictable circumstances.

Gardener generated a theory known as multiple intelligences from observing extremely talented and gifted people. He came up with seven types of intelligence:
Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence: Michael Jordan seems to possess a lot of this ability. People high in bodily-kinesthetic ability have superior hand-eye coordination, a great sense of balance, and a keen understanding of and control over their bodies while engaged in physical activities.
Musical intelligence: If you can tap your foot and clap your hands in unison, then you have a little musical intelligence, just a little. People high in musical intelligence possess the natural ability to read, write, and play music exceptionally well.
Spatial intelligence: Have you ever gotten lost in your own backyard? If so, you probably don't have a very high level of spatial intelligence. This intelligence involves the ability to navigate and move around in space and to the ability to picture three-dimensional scenes in your mind.
Linguistic intelligence: This is the traditional ability to read, write, and speak well. Articulate, well-spoken people, along with poets, writers, and gifted speakers, are high in this ability.
Logical-mathematical intelligence: This intelligence includes basic and complex mathematical problem-solving ability.
Interpersonal intelligence: The gift of gab and the used-car salesperson act are good examples of interpersonal intelligence. A "people person" who has good conversational skills and knows how to interact and relate well with others is high in interpersonal ability.
Intrapersonal intelligence: How well do you know yourself? Intrapersonal intelligence involves the ability to understand your motives, emotions, and other aspects of your personality.
Anyone can have varying degrees of Gardener's intelligences. You may be a shining star of baseball-playing, singing, math wiz, but you may get lost in your own backyard, be unable to carry on a conversation, and may be unable to figure out why you just did that really silly thing.
