What is the applicable triad of intelligence?
What are the main types of intelligence? How would one categorise all the different types of intelligence?

I will define the applicable triad of intelligence.
Hard skills
Hard skills are skills which can be expressed in a physical product, like an invention by a scientist or book by a writer. It is VERY easy to quantify people by hard skills, as they can be expressed in a physical product.Also hard skills can be replicated. A person can invent an iphone or write a song, and it can be multiplied 1000x times and distributed around the world.
In the hard science like STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), if something is true, there is no arguing about it, there's no two ways about it. Once something in STEM is true, it's an objectively verified fact.
Below are jobs that people with hard skills do
Soft skills
Soft skills are skills which cannot be expressed in a tangible (physical) form, and they cannot be replicated on a mass scale. They define the interactions we have with people, how we converse with them how we influence them.In the soft science like psychology, sociology, philosophy and citizenship, if something is true, people will always be arguing about it until the end of time, it's not black and white. Once something in the soft science is true, it is subjectively true instead of objectively true and what is considered to be "true" in the soft science changes every year and over time as humanity progresses.

Creative arts
Creative arts (not to be confused with performing arts like singing, dancing and acting), are people who create something new from their own mind by synthesizing different pieces of information together, in order for them to have actualised something from a fuzzy concept to a concrete format.Below are jobs that people with creative arts skills do
So that sums up the applicable triad of intelligence, as they are the three types of intelligence that we apply in our real lives, of which the education system and work system puts us one of these three fields (unless you lie in the forth one below)
Physical intelligence
Things like being able to be a firefighter, footballer, boxer or soldier requires physical intelligence, but classing physical intelligence as intelligence is like calling Pluto a planet or calling the letter "y" a vowel, so I'll include it in my answer, but its place here is hotly disputed.
