7 different kinds of intelligence, which one(s) are you?

[KeithTalent]

I'd say I have a very high Intrapersonal Intelligence and maybe about a 50% on Linguistic Intelligence. I'm pretty weak in all of the others.

[BoomerD]

Word Smart...definitely

Self Smart...Most likely

Smart Ass...without a doubt

 

[darkewaffle]

Word, physically, self, visually.

I took one of these tests in college, it said my "spatial intelligence" was my strongest point.

Which I guess plays well into my current job, working with perspectives, geometric projections, 3D coordinates, etc.

It also said I was heavy on the visual aspect, meaning I think in pictures, and communicate better through drawings and diagrams than written word, something I also do quite a lot at my current job, I'd rather draw a diagram or mockup to explain something than to describe it.

Math/interpersonal/existential. The base list is actually 8, not 7. He also theorized on further possible intelligences like existential.

 

[SandEagle]

Street smart
Then people smart

 

[soulcougher73]

definitely not word smart

<-- math and visually smart.

Im so smart that i put that misspelled word in their to see if anyone caught it

 

[roguerower]

• Math Smart (numerical/reasoning/logic intelligence)
• Physically Smart (kinesthetic intelligence)
• People Smart (interpersonal intelligence)

This. Makes sense because that's what my job deals with. Was never good with remembering dates and/or words but after physically doing a task or figuring something out on my own I have it down pat.

 

[fire400]

I'm Stupid Smart (the inability to recognize stupidity).

 

[Kadarin]

My personal perception is that I'm largely Math and Visually smart. However, the closest I've ever come to taking a comprehensive test on any of this was the ASVAB that I took for joining the military back in '03, and there I had high scores in every subject area (99th percentile, with higher absolute scores in every area than anyone else I ran into who also cared to share their scores).

I'd say that I'm generally not a musically inclined person, but I've never tried so I don't know.

 

[shortylickens]

Without even looking, none.
I suck at everything, even sucking.

Lemme go take the gay-ass online test and get back to you.

 

[InflatableBuddha]

I'm highly Word smart, Physically smart, and Self smart.

I suck at Math and Music, and I'm average at the other "smarts".

I'm not much of a Howard Gardner fan. While I do believe that there are different learning styles, much of his work is similar to all the others on the workshop circuit - "hey, give us a lot of money & we'll tell you how to do a better job teaching." The vast majority of them are just fads. His theory of multiple intelligences does make some people feel better though. "Wow, see, I'm not dumb. I'm really smart, just in a different way."

However, I do subscribe to the notion that some people more readily learn in particular areas. i.e. not everyone has the same potential in mathematics. But, much of that probably comes from cognitive development at an early age.

 

[Joemonkey]

all of them but visually smart, takes me FOREVER to learn maps in games...

That sums up my thoughts on his work. I really do feel like it's a pat on the head to make you feel like you are special even though you could really be dumb as a post.

Yup. I mean, "kinesthetic intelligence"? It's basically dexterousness.

 

[crownjules]

H. All of the above

 

[crownjules]

Yup. I mean, "kinesthetic intelligence"? It's basically dexterousness.

That's the wrong definition of kinesthetics. The type of person who gets a new mechanical toy and the first thing they do is take it apart to find out how it works and then puts it back together would be a kinesthetic smart.

 

[TheAdvocate]

• Word Smart (linguistic intelligence)
• Math Smart (numerical/reasoning/logic intelligence)
• Music Smart (musical intelligence)
• Visually Smart (Spatial intelligence)

Those. Been tested for this, so I kinda cheated.

Self Smart

 

[GaryJohnson]

<-- crazy smart

Some amounts of

• Word Smart (linguistic intelligence)
• Math Smart (numerical/reasoning/logic intelligence)
• Self Smart (intrapersonal intelligence)
• Visually Smart (Spatial intelligence)

Others not so much..
