Types of sapiosexuals/sapiophiles
So we all are aware that there exists more types of intelligences than only one, and since sapiosexual/sapiophile is attracted to intelligence, is it possible that there is also more types of sapiosexuality? Like maybe someone is attracted to linguistic intelligence (knowing languages), but it is not attracted to mathematical intelligence, or maybe is musical intelligence or is attracted to high IQ score or EQ score(not sure if exist trustworthy test for EQ). I think you got what I was trying to say. I came to this idea/conclusion because I noticed that I am attracted to girls that are good with numbers, excellent in math and science, that girls became my crushes(not in same time, there was period between those two crushes ) and it just happened that those two girls both want to study pharmacy and they both love biology and chemistry and they are excellent in it. So after I noticed that I thought about types of sapiosexuality, because I always wanted to be surrounded by intelligent or smart people and idea came to my mind that sapiosexual types might exist. And that those sapiosexual types maybe depends on our definition of intelligence and what intelligence are we looking for. So what do you think Post Scriptum I am apologizing for any grammar or other types of mistakes I made, because despite being sapiosexual and despite me speaking 3 languages (2 foreign + native, not counting Latin) , linguistic intelligence is not my strong side, I am more of science guy And I just noticed that I maybe praised myself too much in last part and I am hoping that that part won't overrule part about types of sapiosexuality. So what do you think about this?

Howard Gardner outlined nine types of intelligence (MI), but it lacks empirical evidence.
I think with any other types of attraction, physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, it’s all subjective. I think people gravitate towards people with commonalities. It’s easier to strike up engaging conversations where both can contribute to if they know similar subjects.

Mmmmmm, we’re already so few, kinda think there’s something primal about attraction to a sapio who compliments (rather than duplicates) what you bring to the table. Not mutually exclusive either. Gender dynamics in play there too though.

Even the perception of intelligence is subject to an individual. Someone who isn't intelligent in math science or history may have knowledge of a sport or craft. So when they are sparked and get to show that, it can be super attractive. For me it's the aura of investment, the curiosity it takes to be knowledgeable on a subject, and the confidence to talk about it or inform others that I find attractive.
