The seven original intelligences?

Post Reply New Topic

* Linguistic intelligence: a sensitivity to the meaning and order of words. This also goes with history
* Logical-mathematical intelligence: ability in mathematics and other complex logical systems.
* Musical intelligence: the ability to understand and create music. Musicians, composers and dancers show a heightened musical intelligence.
* Spatial intelligence: the ability to "think in pictures," to perceive the visual world accurately, and recreate (or alter) it in the mind or on paper. Spatial intelligence is highly developed in artists, architects, designers and sculptors.
* Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence: the ability to use one's body in a skilled way, for self-expression or toward a goal. Mimes, dancers, basketball players, and actors are among those who display bodily-kinesthetic intelligence.
* Interpersonal intelligence: an ability to perceive and understand other individuals -- their moods, desires, and motivations. Political and religious leaders, skilled parents and teachers, and therapists use this intelligence.
* Intrapersonal intelligence: an understanding of one's own emotions. Some novelists and or counselors use their own experience to guide others.

logical mathematical... mostly. It's not a pure logical thinking though...and I have lately been trying to siphon my mathematical intelligence into musical intelligence... which has a surprising amount of overlap. Especially when musical patterns can be seen.

I have the first two in massive overabundance, the rest in small amounts. Though my old roommate, a composer, claims I have the third also but am too lazy to develop it. Music certainly plays a large role in my life and I often buy two recordings of the same classical piece to hear differences in interpration of it, stylistic differences etc.

I have A large amount of intelligence in the first 3, thought I voted for logical intelligence because it links my favorite things, such as mathematics and logic puzzles.

I voted for linguistic,Etymology (study of words) being an obsession of mine.
I must be ok at logical thinking too going by results I got on a 'Critical Reasoning' test I did for a job application recently.
