Howard Gardner was spot on :-)

Taking a mini-break from my Christmas Story, I thought I would do another of those wonderful little quizzes (idea stolen from Ceramix. Thanks!). While he came out as SPATIAL (see his post here):

I apparently come out as Linguistic. I wonder if that's good or not? Given especially since this is the SECOND test telling me my best career options is as a writer.....

Anyway, here's what they had to say about me:

Your result for Howard Gardner's Eight Types of Intelligence Test ...

Linguistic

31% Logical, 22% Spatial, 65% Linguistic, 31% Intrapersonal, 18% Interpersonal, 33% Musical, 6% Bodily-Kinesthetic and 27% Naturalistic!

"Verbal-linguistic intelligence has to do with words, spoken or written. People with verbal-linguistic intelligence display a facility with words and languages. They are typically good at reading, writing, telling stories and memorizing words and dates. They tend to learn best by reading, taking notes, listening to lectures, and via discussion and debate. They are also frequently skilled at explaining, teaching and oration or persuasive speaking. Those with verbal-linguistic intelligence learn foreign languages very easily as they have high verbal memory and recall, and an ability to understand and manipulate syntax and structure.

Careers which suit those with this intelligence include writers, lawyers, philosophers, journalists, politicians and teachers." (Wikipedia)
