While the other pivot point modes transform the whole selection around one point, Individual Origins transforms each item around itself.

In Object Mode#

Each object gets transformed around its origin, which is a point that can be chosen freely and doesn't have to be in the center. In the example below, the orange rectangle has it in a corner instead.

In Edit Mode#

Each selected element is transformed around its own centerpoint.

When you transform adjacent faces or edges, they are treated as a single element (meaning they don't become disconnected).
