Definition

• Linguistic Intelligence (Word Smart) is the
  capacity to use language, your native language,
  and perhaps other languages, to express what's on
  your mind and to understand other people. Poets
  really specialize in linguistic intelligence, but
  any kind of writer, orator, speaker, lawyer, or a
  person for whom language is an important stock in
  trade, highlights linguistic intelligence.
