Bodily-Kinaesthetic intelligence is the ability to use fine and gross motor skills in sports, the performing arts, or arts and crafts production. Bodily Intelligence involves using the body to solve problems, to create products, and to convey ideas and emotions.

Athletes, surgeons, dancers, choreographers and craft people all use bodily-kinaesthetic intelligence.
