A test of multiple intelligences

You’ve heard of Multiple Intelligences, haven’t you? Harvard professor Howard Gardner came up with this theory way back in the early 80s. He said that we don’t have one intelligence; rather we have eight or more intelligences. Some of these intelligences are dominant in us and some are less prominent. For example, some of us may be highly competent at reading and writing tasks (linguistic intelligence) while others may be exceptionally good at science and numbers (logical-mathematical intelligence) and some others may be masterful at art and design (visual-spatial intelligence). The truth is, everyone’s intelligent in some way.

So what are the different intelligences? Here are the eight clearly identified ones:
Bodily-kinesthetic
Interpersonal
Verbal-linguistic
Logical-mathematical
Naturalistic
Intrapersonal
Visual-spatial
Musical

And it’s not very difficult to identify these intelligences. Here’s a quick little test:
