Multiple intelligence test

[vilakins]

I did this Multiple intelligence Test, gacked from mistraltoes. Actually, most of it sounds about right. I'm not well connected to my body--in fact I'm a clumsy lout--and I've always scored well on spatial tests; so much for women being bad at them. However although I'm no extrovert, I didn't think I was that antisocial.


The Seven Intelligence Areas

Linguistic: 8
Logical-Mathematical: 9
Spatial: 8
Bodily-Kinesthetic: 5
Musical: 7
Interpersonal: 1
Intrapersonal: 9

A Short Definition of your Highest Score

Logical-Mathematical - the ability to use numbers to compute and describe, to use mathematical concepts to make conjectures, to apply mathematics in personal daily life, to apply mathematics to data and construct arguments, to be sensitive to the patterns, symmetry, logic, and aesthetics of mathematics, and to solve problems in design and modeling. Possible vocations that use the logical-mathematics intelligence include accountant, bookkeeper, statistician, tradesperson, homemaker, computer programmer, scientist, composer, engineer, inventor, or designer.

Intrapersonal - the ability to assess one's own strengths, weaknesses, talents, and interests and use them to set goals, to understand oneself to be of service to others, to form and develop concepts and theories based on an examination of oneself, and to reflect on one's inner moods, intuitions, and temperament and to use them to create or express a personal view. Possible vocations that use the intrapersonal intelligence include planner, small business owner, psychologist, artist, religious leader, and writer.

I came out with 12 linguistic, 8 intrapersonal and almost damn all anywhere else - music wasn't too bad but the only thing that surprised me about 1 for maths and 2 for spatial was that they weren't lower. Not a balanced bunny...

My daughter, like you, has excellent spatial skills, but I think it is probably true that a lot of women don't. My theory is that women, unlike men, have not had any urgent need to develop spatial skills, because we know how to ask directions.

Odd, isn't it. Personally, I'd rather look at a map if I have one than ask for directions, simply because my brain works that way--I'm visual rather than aural. However I have no objection to asking if I don't have a map, yet Greg just won't. My father wouldn't either--I have memories of being lost on holiday and him driving through towns hoping the name would appear on some business or shop, while my mother sat and fumed.

I think my linguistic score was lower than it might have been because I don't remember and use quotes, and am not good at conversation. I much prefer communicating in writing.
