What type of intelligence do you identify with?
Question by With her head in the clouds: What type of intelligence do you identify with?
With intelligence according to psychologists there are about 9 different types. That's why a lot of gifted people with Einstein are only gifted in one area (in Einstein's case it would have have been scientific and mathematical).
The types of intelligence are as follows:
Spatial: People who are spatially intelligent are good at visual things such as visual arts like architecture and designing.
Linguistic: People who are linguistic are good with verbal and written things. They are usually good at reading, writing, telling stories, learning languages and public speaking. They learn best by discussing, debating, reading and writing.
Logical-mathematical: These people are good with reasoning, abstractions, logic and numbers. They're usually very good at mathematics, chess, computer programming and similar. They excel at these things. They're best suited to jobs such as scientists, enigineers, philosophers, doctors...
Bodily-Kinesthetic: These people are really good at using their body to learn and achieve. These people often use their body in a way to revise and remember things using their body (not remembering but via movement). These people are often athletes, actors, dancers, soldiers and similar.
Musical Intelligence: These people are very sensitive to noise and rhythms. They are often very good at learning musical instruments and singing and often learn through making songs. Singers, composers, conductors etc are often gifted in this way.
Interpersonal: Interpersonally intelligent people are very good with people. They tend to be epmathetic and sensitive towards the plight of others and are often extroverted. They are good communicators and often become things like politicians and social workers.
Intrapersonal: People with intrapersonal intelligence are often introverted and prefer to work alone. They are very good at deciphering their own feelings and understanding their sense of self, what makes them unique and using it to their advantage. People with intrapersonal intelligence are often theologians, writers, lawyers etc.
Naturalistic: These people are very good with nature and can relate well to natural surroundings. They tend to become farmers, wildlife volunteers etc
Exisential: These people are very good at contemplating hypothetical situations and ideas such as the infinite and are best suited to the career of philosopher.
I tend to lean towards being linguistically intelligent (I'm not gifted or anything I'm just good with linguistics). I've always gotten good marks in things like English. I'm a good reader, public speaker and have always been good at writing stories. I'm too sure about languages because at school I used to learn Japanese and was horrible at it. But I learnt French from 5-7 and was okay with it so I think maybe I'm more suited to European languages over Asian ones, specifically Germanic ones. (Ones with the phonetic alphabet).
Which type of intelligence best suits you/you find yourself best at?
Best answer:
Answer by Okay
Linguistic, I think.
I could be musical intelligence, but I'm not good at learning things like piano and guitar. I'm just good at pitches and beats and stuff.
And I might be intrapersonal?
I think I'm the most linguistic, though.

Logical-mathematical and Linguistic.
They’re like… total opposites, but they both apply to me. My best subjects are Math and English.
i feel like i am a combination of spatial and logical, i am very good at art, mainly 3d arts such as pottery and sculptures, also i love designing buildings and new designs of bridges ect…
but also i am very good at math and science, and am constantly thinking of better ways to do or design things
when i grow up i want to either be a mechanical engineer or an architect
im a nerd and proud of it:)
hope this helps;-)
I’d say linguistic as I’m good at all the fields it suggests like telling stories and writing, I’m terrible at math D:
Linguistic and Logical-mathematical.
Intrapersonal i guess. I want to be a social worker.
I just saw 4 of them. But i think Linguistic.
I find myself to be logically-mathematically intelligent. Math is my best subject. I’m also pretty good at chess. Numbers speak to me. They’re like a puzzle, you just have to put them in the right place.
Probably intrapersonal, naturalistic, or logical-mathematical. I understand myself a lot more than I understand others and I work a lot better alone at most things. I always loved and appreciated nature. And I’m really good at math, and actually enjoy doing it.
Musical and Interpersonal intelligence.
a little bit of Exisential, Intrapersonal, Linguistic and Logical…like i feel that i am a mix of those 4….that’s what i would say
linguistic and intrapersonal, i think. I adore writing and I’m a bit of an introvert.
I fit in Exisential, Intrapersonal, Linguistic, Spatial, and Logical-mathematical intelligence. That’s interesting. Thank you for sharing that!
Logical-Mathematical.
Okay, I’m not gifted as such, but I get good marks in Maths and Science.
Linguistic, intrapersonal, and existential. I’m good at writing and public speaking, but not talking to people one-on-one or making friends. I’m pretty shy.
we did this in class.
musical intelligence
intrapersonal
There are a couple that fit me. One is Spatial and the other is Interpersonal.
Everything on there, maybe not so existential and interpersonal. Im super amazing in music language math nature etc. I know three languages and pick up instruments really easily. Not to bragggg
Linguistic, Musical, and Intrapersonal
My oldest daughter, Amber had a sheet with 80 questions on it. Once you answered the questions, based on your results, they would be able to tell which type of intelligence you had. She had to quiz our whole family. My family’s results were:
Me: Linguistic
Cammi (wife): Spatial
Amber (15): Interpersonal
Kellie (12): Interpersonal
Stephenie (9): Interpersonal
Great, now I know all 3 of my daughters are blabbermouths. Just kidding.
Intrapersonal intelligence
Linguistic. I speak 4 languages and I love to write, I blog. I also really like words in a geeky way! I am quite shy though so I hate public speaking! Existentialist is quite appealing too I have to say. I find existentialism itself interesting.
I don’t specifically identify with a single one, but rather could pick and choose certain traits from Linguistic, Intrapersonal and Existential. While I would consider reading, writing, story telling and manipulation of the English language one of my strongest points, I’m absolutely awful when it comes to public speaking and learning the grammar of foreign languages. Similarly, while I’m introverted and philosophical the majority of the time, I have my moments when I’m surprisingly extroverted and petty.
Intrapersonal
I feel I am interpersonal. I want to get my Bachelor’s in Criminal Justice so I’ll be working for the Government (hopefully, since that’s my goal).
My boyfriend is totally the logical-mathematic. He’s great at math, chess, and computers. And he’s an engineer
What a match!!
Interpersonal, definitely. I’m great with people, not really with anything else, haha!

Oh I’m definitely linguistic! I love to write and I have hopes of being a journalist or some type of writer, plus my best subject is ELA so yes Linguistic! I know some Spanish, my mom speaks it and i’ve gradually picked up on it. I can make up stories for my younger sisters quite easily. I’m starting to learn German!
*high fives*
I think for me it would be interpersonal.
