This domain is immensely important, although it is not well understood and is elusive to study. Interpersonal intelligence involves the development of the internal aspects of a person and the capacity to access one's feeling life and a range of affects or emotions (Gardner, 1983). It is the capacity to form an accurate and truthful model of oneself and to be able to use that model to operate effectively in life. This intelligence includes making discriminations among personal feelings and understanding and drawing on them to guide our behavior. The types of occupations that utilize this intelligence include the novelist, therapist, and wise elder.
