Multiple Intelligences

Multiple Intelligences

Multiple Intelligences are a fascinating subject, it's the way we as humans (or used cars in usedHONDA's case) think, interact with our surroundings, and learn. There's many tests on the web about it, but I use this one in school, regardless it's an adult version, anyone can do it. (I'm 14 and managed to understand it.)

Take the test here.

It is 84 questions, but dose not take long.

Look at your scores, and go to this page

To save some time, keep your score on hand and look at the top 3 or 4 Multiple Intelligences you scored highest in. Also look at the one you scored lowest in. It might tell you a little about yourself.

Linguistic - the ability to use language to describe events, to build trust and rapport, to develop logical arguments and use rhetoric, or to be expressive and metaphoric. Possible vocations that use linguistic intelligence include journalism, administrator, contractor, salesperson, clergy, counselors, lawyers, professor, philosopher, playwright, poet, advertising copywriter and novelist.

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, trades person, homemaker, computer programmer, scientist, composer, engineer, inventor, or designer.

Musical - the ability to understand and develop musical technique, to respond emotionally to music and to work together to use music to meet the needs of others, to interpret musical forms and ideas, and to create imaginative and expressive performances and compositions. Possible vocations that use the musical intelligence include technician, music teacher, instrument maker, choral, band, and orchestral performer or conductor, music critic, aficionado, music collector, composer, conductor, and individual or small group performer.

Spatial - the ability to perceive and represent the visual-spatial world accurately, to arrange color, line, shape, form and space to meet the needs of others, to interpret and graphically represent visual or spatial ideas, to transform visual or spatial ideas into imaginative and expressive creations. Possible vocations that use spatial intelligence include illustrator, artist, guide, photographer, interior decorator, painter, clothing designer, weaver, builder, architect, art critic, inventor, or cinematographer.

Bodily-Kinesthetic - the ability to use the body and tools to take effective action or to construct or repair, to build rapport to console and persuade, and to support others, to plan strategically or to critique the actions of the body, to appreciate the aesthetics of the body and to use those values to create new forms of expression. Possible vocations that use the bodily-kinesthetic intelligence include mechanic, trainer, contractor, craftsperson, tool and dye maker, coach, counselor, salesperson, sports analyst, professional athlete, dance critic, sculptor, choreographer, actor, dancer or puppeteer.

Interpersonal - the ability to organize people and to communicate clearly what needs to be done, to use empathy to help others and to solve problems, to discriminate and interpret among different kinds of interpersonal clues, and to influence and inspire others to work toward a common goal. Possible vocations that use the interpersonal intelligence include administrator, manager, politician, social worker, doctor, nurse, therapist, teacher, sociologist, psychologist, psychotherapist, consultant, charismatic leader, politician, and evangelist.

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.

Naturalist - the ability to recognize and classify plants, minerals, and animals, including rocks and grass and all variety of flora and fauna, and to recognize cultural artifacts like cars and sneakers. Possible vocations that use the naturalist intelligence include conservation, biologist, teacher, lobbyist, and park service. *Because this is a recent addition to the Intelligences, we have not yet included it in the Multiple Intelligence Tests our site features.

My Score?

My score was:

Linguistic: 8

Logical-Mathematical: 3

Spatial: 7

Bodily-Kinesthetic: 5

Musical: 12

Interpersonal: 2

Intrapersonal: 10

This matches my personality, in the ways I'm a great writer, I can easily hear a song once and sing it back, I'm often then not to myself when working because I know I'll do it the way I want it done, and I learn well by hearing it. The low mathematical score is due to my brain not working in a "logical" or pattern like way, I like to think outside of the box, so to speak.

I thought this was amazing when I did it in school a while back, it can tell you a lot about yourself and help you learn/study. I would recommend taking the test to anyone, of any age.

Musical - the ability to understand and develop musical technique, to respond emotionally to music and to work together to use music to meet the needs of others, to interpret musical forms and ideas, and to create imaginative and expressive performances and compositions. Possible vocations that use the musical intelligence include technician, music teacher, instrument maker, choral, band, and orchestral performer or conductor, music critic, aficionado, music collector, composer, conductor, and individual or small group performer.

That is true, I thought that wouls be the outcome. Especially as I'm a music student at college & I play a few gigs now & then

[pyrochild]

ON logical-mathematical i got 11, as well as an 11 in musical, but i voted musical 'cause that's more fun =)

[usedHONDA]

I had a tie between Logical-Mathematical and Interpersonal (11). 9 for Interpersona and 8 for Spatial.

EDIT: Woah. I'm the only Logical-Mathematical :shock:

No you're not! read my post, silly.

I thought everyone would enjoy this

[Down]

I can't remember what the numbers were, but it went some thing like this(From greatest to least):

Bodily-Kinesthetic

Intrapersonal

Musical

Linguistic

Logical-Mathematical

Interpersonal

Spatial

EDIT: Haha,I'll take the test. These were from the test I took in school 4 months ago. :oops:

After an experiment, I found that you can get 12 on everything if you check everything off.

Which is proof that you actually are Logical-Mathematical.

so what does this say about me! the musical I'm surprised I even got a 3 score !. I'm the girl in the back of the choir in grade school the nun pulled aside and told me it was fine if I just mouthed the words. LOL! and tune keeper I'm not.

Honda that isn't the point and ruins the entire idea.

[usedHONDA]

Well they should at least give questions that take points off.... to prevent me from cheating

[Yata]

If you cheat your only doing yourself wrong....

[usedHONDA]

But it feels so right :twisted:

I play piano, and I frequently listen to music or sing it myself when ding almost anything. I am listening to Super Metroid music right now!

As some already know, I am heavily involved in both a youth group (although now I am a senior member, as I graduate this Saturday ) and a childrens ministry.

[Syko_Chicken]

My score O_o it has made me really think about myself and what there is that I can improve on, But I do enjoy carpentry

Not at all what I expected.

Thought I'd be strongest in Linguistic and Logical/Mathematical - turns out I'm musical.
