Multiple intelligence Quiz

I FINALLY found this quiz that my cousin was telling me about! Here’s the link if you’re curious.

http://www.mitest.com/o7inte~1.htm


You may be a bit surprised by your results—I was. I expected to be Intrapersonal to be higher, and I was SURE Linguistic would be my highest. I was wrong. Perhaps my low intrapersonalness is to blame.
My Results:

The Seven Intelligence Areas
Linguistic: 7
Logical-Mathematical: 2
Spatial: 6
Bodily-Kinesthetic: 7
Musical: 8
Interpersonal: 7
Intrapersonal: 5

This is the link explaining what the categories mean: http://www.businessballs.com/howardgardnermultipleintelligences.htm

i came out as a 0 for logical/mathematical. is that possible? i also had a really high number for musical, i think that's based on preferences not skill :) although it does recommend that i should be a music teacher or instrument maker! maybe i'll start selling shoebox guitars to pay off my loans.

Claire- I'm pretty close to you there on the mathematics scale! Based on this I think I should be an art therapist.

Linguistic: 6
Logical-Mathematical: 1
Spatial: 8
Bodily-Kinesthetic: 7
Musical: 5
Interpersonal: 5
Intrapersonal: 7

Heidi H., I had a feeling Spatial would be way up there for you.

Claire, I hear you in regards to the Logical-Mathematical category. You know, one of the questions for that category was, "Do some say your mind works like a computer?"

I thought "What the heck Shift exclamation point, Shift question mark, " and my brain system crashed. ;)

Here you go, Ms. Heidi:

Linguistic: 11
Spatial: 9
Interpersonal: 9
Bodily-Kinesthetic: 7
Intrapersonal: 6
Musical: 4
Logical-Mathematical: 4

I think it rings pretty true to form, though I have not read the categories. I think I expected intrapersonal to be higher. Also, I think the musical score could be a bit higher.

Thanks Neil! I would have guessed your intrapersonal would have been higher too. Look at that Logical-Mathmatical score! You're the highest in that category.

Posted by: Heidi Vincent at February 13, 2008 03:03 PM

Did you mean the lowest? I would like to think I am fairly logical, even if I do not act on the results of my logic, but tutoring, oh tutoring, clearly showed that the mathematical category belongs on the bottom. Sometimes, my lack of knowledge in math was a bit embarassing.

I meant you scored higher than Heidi H., Claire, and I. Oh my gosh, speaking of tutoring! Taqulia is doing her African American History report on Alexander Graham Bell. It gets better. She showed me a really poor photo from a newspaper printout to “prove” his ethnicity. And I quote, “Miss Heidi, look at this man and tell me he’s not black!” To Taqulia's credit, I will say that he is the most African American looking Scotsman I've ever seen. The funniest part about it is that Taqulia's teacher approved her choice after seeing the photo. Oh dear.

That is very funny and sad. What I wonder is how she thought to take that tack in the first place. He does look rather like an elderly black gentleman. I think that is due the smoothing of his skin, through the painting of the print. Talk about the perils of editing, digital or otherwise. Perhaps this picture from the website of the company that, I believe, once carried his name, or at least one of their susidiaries did:

Here are my results--
Linguistic: 1
Logical-Mathematical: 1
Spatial: 3
Bodily-Kinesthetic: 3
Musical: 12
Interpersonal: 7
Intrapersonal: 8

Tanya, I had a feeling musical would be your highest! If there were a category for knowing when somebody needs a hug then yours would be off the charts (maybe we could call it the “Hug Perceptivity” category) ;)
