So uh, what does "nature smart" mean, that you're good at science?

I think it's just a category to make the dirty tree-hugging hippies feel better about themselves. Wink

Musical & linguistic virtually tied, kinaesthetic comes last. No real surprise here for me.

Visual-Spatial, interpersonal, naturalistic, and musical were all maxed out.  My lowest was linguistic... even though I think I do fine with linguistic.

Generally I do well in all the intelligence types except kinaesthetic because I'm clumsy as hell and generally I'm terrible at games that rely on very fine motor skills... Like most RPG video games, etc.

My best is linguistic, with logical coming in second.  My worst is musical.  Pretty much what I expected.

I'm pretty sure that's why all the categories were invented.

Here's a brief description of Gardner's nine intelligences:

http://www.pbs.org/wnet/gperf/education/ed_mi_overview.html

Note that he calls this one naturalist intelligence and says that "This ability was clearly of value in our evolutionary past as hunters, gatherers, and farmers; it continues to be central in such roles as botanist or chef."

Here's a slightly more academic (and dry) treatment of the subject, with criticism:

Musical, Intrapersonal and Logical are kind of clustered at the top for me.

Who in the world doesn't think they notice things other people miss?  Virtually everyone I've ever met seems to think they're more observant than average.

Well, yes, indeed, people often have illusory superiority, so, yeah, people should think they're generally above average on that as well as much else.

That said, I don't believe I am more observant than average.  In fact, I'm pretty oblivious most of the time.

My scores are:

1) Logical (24)
2) Interpersonal (19)
3) Linguistic (18)
4-tie) Naturalistic (14)
4-tie) Visual/Spatial (14)
6) Musical (11)
7) Intrapersonal (9)
