Since I've now taken this test multiple times, my results are not really a surprise to me. What I did think about, though, is that maybe my responses have gotten less reliable? Since I predict the outcome every time, and maybe the responses I give are more what I perceive to be my strengths but might not necessarily be true anymore. And because I do that and am thinking about it...should that mean my logical intelligence should have scored higher? Maybe that proves my point... Regardless, My highest intelligences are linguistic, intrapersonal, and musical which seem appropriate as I naturally prefer to read and listen to music alone. And I would expect none to be lower than my naturalist persona: I like being outside but not "outside." These abilities are directly reflected in the quality of my work for different classes. As I do well in my literature courses, I do pathetically in my science classes. Overall, a new insight that I've gotten from taking the survey this time deals with my interpersonal intelligence. I noticed that although I answered lowly to those questions, in practice, I usually do all of those things quite well--this might show again how what I see myself doing and what I actually prefer to do might skew this intelligences survey...possibly?
