Read my Substack article - how do you score in these 16 intelligences
🔷 THE 16 INTELLIGENCES
Organised in natural progression: Mind → Heart → Body → Being
🧠 MIND (Clarity & Perception of Reality)
1. Analytical Intelligence Clear thinking, logic, accuracy → Do you see what is actually true, or what you want to be true?
2. Systems Intelligence Seeing patterns, interconnections, cause/effect → Can you see how everything links together?
3. Creative Intelligence Original ideas, innovation, new pathways → Do you create beyond what already exists?
4. Linguistic Intelligence Expression, persuasion, articulation → Can you communicate truth in a way that lands?
❤️ HEART (Connection & Relationship)
5. Emotional Intelligence Feeling, regulating, understanding emotions → Do your emotions run you, or do you move with them?
6. Social Intelligence Reading people, group dynamics, timing → Can you feel the room without needing words?
7. Relational Intelligencethis is Depth, trust, healing, especially with parents/partners → Do people transform in your presence?
8. Moral Intelligence Integrity, truth, aligned action → Do you choose what is right when it costs you?
⚡ BODY (Action & Real-World Capacity)
9. Practical Intelligence Ex*****on, decision-making, “getting it done” → Can you turn insight into reality?
10. Adaptive Intelligence Handling change, uncertainty, pressure → Do you break under pressure or evolve through it?
11. Kinesthetic Intelligence Body awareness, movement, somatic presence → Are you living in your body or just your head?
12. Energetic Intelligence(bridges body + being) Reading energy, impact, presence → What happens to a room when you walk in?
🌌 BEING (Awareness & Consciousness)
13. Intrapersonal Intelligence Self-awareness, shadow, truth of self → Do you actually know who you are?
14. Intuitive Intelligence Non-linear knowing, deep inner guidance → Can you trust what arises without proof?
15. Existential Intelligence Meaning, purpose, life/death awareness → Have you faced the real questions of existence?
16. Spiritual Intelligence Oneness, presence, unconditional awareness → Can you rest as what is, beyond identity?
🔶 THE 10-RING SCORING SYSTEM (Your Style)
This is personal growth work becomes experiential, not just conceptual.
Each intelligence is rated from
1 → 10, using your concentric ring model:
🔘 How It Works
Each person rates themselves based on lived reality, not aspiration.
1–3 (Inner Rings) —
Fragmented
Reactive
Unaware
Inconsistent 👉 Life feels happening to you
4–6 (Middle Rings) —
Developing
Some awareness
Some control
Inconsistent embodiment 👉 You know, but don’t always live it
7–8 (Outer Rings) —
Integrated
Stable
Embodied
Reliable under pressure 👉 Others feel this in you
9–10 (Edge Rings) —
Mastery / Transmission
Effortless
Transformational to others
Present even in chaos 👉 You don’t just have it—you are it
🔷 HOW TO APPLY IT (THIS IS THE GOLD)
Instead of asking:
“How intelligent am I?”
They ask:
“Where am I developed, and where am I avoiding?”
Example (what you guide yourself through)
Emotional Intelligence:
Do I shut down, react, or stay open?
Can I stay present in conflict?
Relational Intelligence:
Do my relationships deepen over time?
Have I healed parental imprints?
Spiritual Intelligence:
Am I seeking… or resting in being?
🔶 VISUAL STRUCTURE (we cover on the ‘art of being courses and retreats at KeanBuckley.com)
Fill in your own wheel below.
16 segments (one per intelligence) Each segment has 10 rings (1–10)
👉 This becomes:
A diagnostic tool
A progress tracker
A transformation map
🔥 THE DEEPER TRUTH (Aligned with your true life’s work)
Most systems stop at:
IQ
EQ
But this model goes further:
👉 From performance → presence 👉 From doing → being
And this is the real unlock:
People don’t suffer from lack of intelligence…They suffer from imbalance across intelligences.
