Gardener's 8 Types Of Intelligence - Poll

Linguistic for me--no surprise there!

18% Logical, 31% Spatial, 65% Linguistic, 20% Intrapersonal, 8% Interpersonal, 41% Musical, 4% Bodily-Kinesthetic and 47% Naturalistic!

This looks about right for me. Except the part about being able to learn foreign languages. I do pretty well with English, so I just get frustrated with another language because it doesn't come to me as easily! Hmm, maybe that's 44% Lazy!!!

"This area has to do with introspective and self-reflective capacities. Those who are strongest in this intelligence are typically introverts and prefer to work alone. They are usually highly self-aware and capable of understanding their own emotions, goals and motivations. They often have an affinity for thought-based pursuits such as philosophy. They learn best when allowed to concentrate on the subject by themselves. There is often a high level of perfectionism associated with this intelligence.

Careers which suit those with this intelligence include philosophers, psychologists, theologians, writers and scientists."

You may also like to read this article on Spatial Intelligence. I like how this article brings up a quote from William Blake and how he emphasized the role of imagination in seeing: "The mind sees through the eye."

I think that those of you who are Spatial dominate look at the images on a Tarot deck and are better able to visualize them in a 3D way (and pick up on the details) than I can.

Fascinating. I was surprised that I didn't score higher on Linquistics, but there's a pretty even balance of the next for attributes. I may seek out another couple of these tests, as it's the first time I've come across this.

I neither agree or disagree, just an observation of his test.

Musings from a Spatial Person

I am spatial and have known that for a long time. Here is how it works for me - just some examples of things I have said to others.

"Just shut up and DRAW me a picture already."

"I can't tell you how to get there, but let me draw you a map."

"I can SEE what you are saying."

Other person: "Good grief, can't you understand anything?? Do I have to draw you a picture??" me: "YES!!!"

Also...When listening to a lecture, I have to draw what I hear. Not necessarily WRITE it, but drawn it. When I explain things to students, I MUST have a paper and pencil so I can draw it out - which helps me verbalize the explanation for the other kinds of learners out there.

I learn through my hands and my eyes. When I want to draw something, I can't *just* look at it, I have to touch it. I trace with my fingers. I do math in my head and in the air (w/ my pointer finger). As a child, I always drew horses. They were pasable, but not great. Then in college, I had a job as a groom. After that, my horses were MUCH more realistic because my hands had touched what my eyes had seen and I could remember that through my pencil.

Oddly, though, I have very poor eye/body coordination (A perceptual-motor lag), but I do have good eye/hand coordination. I also am everybody's first choice for finding small objects on busy looking surfaces because I can always see them - I just look for the disruption in the pattern. I see visual patterns all the time. I can't stand things to NOT be symmetrical. I cannot see past the rain drops on my windshield and must have the wipers go during all levels of precipitation.

I learned about this a million years ago when I was in high school. I was given a test with images of 3 dimensional objects that were disassembled, but still basically a single piece of paper (so to speak). I could look at it and tell you what it would look like if assembled. Also, I could look at images of gears and pullies and tell you exactly what would operate what.

So, in case anybody had questions about spatial intelligence, hopefully this gives an idea.
