I didn't think that much of this one.

The reason? The questions didn't test knowledge or intelligence. They asked yes/no questions about how I did in school and such. I could probably figure out how to get each of the other kinds of smart without much trouble.

"Intellectually" Intelligent You're 'Intellectually Intelligent.' That pretty much means that you're good with theoretical ideas and concepts - but this comes to you naturally. More or less, you're a natural brainiac. Good for you. 20% theoretical intelligence 40% natural intelligence

They were pretty simple, although I'm not sure Y/N questions can really demonstrate intelligence. For example, I took the test quickly, without giving too much thought to the answers, and got 20% applied smarts and 0% learned smarts. Then I went back and flipped one answer (the one I most thought shouldn't be a Y/N answer), and got smack-dab in the middle -- 0% on each!

What does that mean? Does 0% mean you don't have any of that type of intelligence, or that you're full of it? ;) Yes, I know it's just a simple silly quiz, but still -- there wasn't enough explanation for my taste.

Oh, and the question I flipped: whether I was a practical or intuitive learner. They categorized it as 'learn by actually doing' vs. 'learn by reading and being told' -- but I prefer to be told, and then do it myself, as the best way for me to learn.

Just a few random thoughts! ;)

That was a very, very poor question, because most people need to be told, shown, and then get the chance to do it for themselves, to really learn something. It prioritized visual/oral learning way, way above kinesthetic, whereas in reality, all three are (or can be) complementary.

I don't think there were enough questions to make a decent determination.

I was never much of a fan of the idea of dissecting different kinds of intelligence, anyway. Sure, smartness comes in different flavors, but they're all part of one larger concept that's just going to be different for every individual.

Also, just looking at the possible results... there just seems to be a lot of overlap. What's the difference between "Book Smart" and "School Smart," for instance?

Also - everyone is smart, according to this. Now, on my friends list, that's quite true, but the world is much broader than my friends list. :)

Paraphrasing Bill Watterson's Calvin:

"He's street smart. He knows what street he lives on."

I just had time to read over all the frightening escapades with the little one! :( Poor you! Thank God everything's fine!!!! *hugs*

Everything's good, and we're going to celebrate with pizza and gaming. :) Honestly, if this is the worst this kid does to me before arrival, I'll have had a pretty sweet pregnancy.

Fear is a natural part of parenthood. From the moment the two little lines appear in the window until you draw your dying breath, you worry and are afraid for your kids every moment. Through the fear comes joy, though, and makes it all worth it.
