OUR ability to tap our spatial intelligence is most commonly seen in how we comprehend shapes and images in three dimensions. Whether it is trying to put together a puzzle, mold a sculpture or navigate the seas with only the stars as a guide, we utilize our spatial intelligence to perceive and interpret that which we may or may not physically see.

Advances in neuroscience have now provided researchers with clear-cut proof of the role of spatial intelligence in the right hemisphere of the brain. This capacity allows one to perceive the visual-spatial world accurately. This intelligence involves sensitivity to color, line, shape, form and space. It includes the capacity to to visualize, to graphically represent visual and/or spatial ideas. People with this intelligence are designers, decorators, artists, architects and inventors.
