Each intelligence has its own unique developmental trajectory. This means that these intelligences emerge and develop at different stages and rates in an individual's life. For instance, linguistic intelligence develops rapidly in early childhood, while interpersonal intelligence might evolve more significantly during later childhood or adolescence. This criterion underscores the belief that intelligences are not static but evolve with age and experience. The distinct developmental paths of each intelligence imply that educational strategies should be tailored to the maturity level of each intelligence in an individual.
