Nope. Thanks. Those intelligences are all very broad - kinesthetic intelligence exists, and can make you rich; but it's not of interest to me in this context. It doesn't surprise me that someone can be a great baseball player, a great musician, a great poet, or a great painter or architect, and still say stupid things. The only ones listed by Gardner that interest me in this context are Linguistic, Mathematical, and Intrapersonal.
I don't think "naturalistic" and "musical" intelligence belong even in Gardner's list. Those are skills people practice.
