intelligences

Different cognitive abilities

Intelligences is the plural of intelligence, used when distinguishing types or instances.

In psychology and education, multiple intelligences refers to Howard Gardner's theory that people possess distinct cognitive capacities—linguistic, musical, spatial, and others—rather than a single general ability.

In espionage, intelligences may refer to separate intelligence agencies or distinct pieces of gathered information: The various intelligences agreed on the threat assessment.
