They are people with extraordinary musical memory, having the ability to distinguish sounds and identify out of tune notes. They also have what we call absolute pitch.
Logical-Mathematical Intelligence
People who like algebra, logic and numbers will certainly fit in here. They can think conceptually and abstractly. They enjoy categorizing things, solving math problems, performing experiments and playing strategic games – like chess or RPG.
Existential Intelligence
People with existential intelligence are extremely philosophical. They contemplate deep questions about human existence, seeking meaning in life and reflecting, mainly, on death and the origin of humanity.
