Anyone who has done an IQ test and come off badly shouldn't feel too upset. The modern IQ test isn't that modern really, and doesn't tell you how intelligent you are in a complete sense - not according to Dr Howard Garener anyway.
Dr Gardener's 8 types are more than just a broad recognition of EQ though , here is a brief summary of each type:
Dr Gardener's 8 types are more than just a broad recognition of EQ though , here is a brief summary of each type:
- Spatial - the ability to visualize with the mind's eye. Careers which suit those with this type of intelligence include artists, designers and architects. A spatial person is also good with puzzles.
- Linguistic - how good you are at reading, writing, telling stories and memorizing words along with dates
- Logical-mathematical - if you're good at mathematics, chess, computer programming and other logical or numerical activities (this is like traditional IQ)
- Bodily-kinaesthetic - if you are well coordinated and good at physical activities such as sports or dance
- Musical - if you are musical and have sensitivity to rhythm, pitch, meter, tone, melody or timbre
- Interpersonal - how well you empathize with others and relate to people
- Intrapersonal - this is how good you are at understanding yourself and predicting your emotional responses
- Naturalistic - your ability to contemplate phenomena or questions beyond sensory data, such as the infinite and infinitesimal
makes me feel better anyway. p
I tried doing an IQ test a few years ago, I didn't finish because I got bored with it. Maybe I could have done well,maybe not, but I generally feel that I can only do well if I am stimulated by the subject matter, so to carry on trying while un stimulated was pointless. Speed chess is fun - slow chess is not.
