My single strongest type of intelligence, according to this test:

Musical

37% Logical (higher than 74% of the population)
12% Spatial (higher than 11% of the population)
35% Linguistic, (higher than 53% of the population)
39% Intra-personal (higher than 54% of the population)
27% Interpersonal (higher than 59% of the population)
47% Musical (higher than 86% of the population)
14% Bodily-Kinesthetic (higher than 34% of the population)
16% Naturalistic (higher than 9% of the population)

"This area has to do with rhythm, music, and hearing. Those who have a high level of musical-rhythmic intelligence display greater sensitivity to sounds, rhythms, tones and music. They normally have good pitch and may even have absolute pitch, and are able to sing, play musical instruments, and compose music. Since there is a strong auditory component to this intelligence, those who are strongest in it may learn best via lecture. In addition, they will often use songs or rhythms to learn and memorize information, and may work best with music playing in the background."

Naturalistic

27% Logical, 25% Spatial, 55% Linguistic, 31% Intrapersonal, 6% Interpersonal, 18% Musical, 8% Bodily-Kinesthetic and 71% Naturalistic!

"This area has to do with nature, nurturing and relating information to one's natural surroundings. Those with it are said to have greater sensitivity to nature and their place within it, the ability to nurture and grow things, and greater ease in caring for, taming and interacting with animals. They may also be able to discern changes in weather or similar fluctuations in their natural surroundings. They are also good at recognizing and classifying different species.

'Naturalists' learn best when the subject involves collecting and analyzing, or is closely related to something prominent in nature; they also don't enjoy learning unfamiliar or seemingly useless subjects with little or no connections to nature. It is advised that naturalistic learners would learn more through being outside or in a kinesthetic way.

Careers which suit those with this intelligence include scientists, naturalists, conservationists, gardeners and farmers." (Wikipedia)

Linguistic.

37% Logical
14% Spatial
63% Linguistic
31% Intrapersonal
14% Interpersonal
20% Musical
8% Bodily-Kinesthetic
51% 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."

Probably fairly accurate.

Logical

61% Logical > 97% peers
2% Spatial > 1% peers
45% Linguistic > 71% peers
25% Intrapersonal > 22% peers
12% Interpersonal > 19% peers
31% Musical > 56% peers
16% Bodily-Kinesthetic > 40% peers
37% Naturalistic > 57% peers

The % above your peers seems more important than the actual score, in my opinion. My stand-out scores are Logical and Linguistic among strengths, and Spatial and (Inter/Intra)personal among weaknesses. The only surprise here is Spatial. I usually score high for spatial intelligence - don't know what happened. But logic and languages are definitely my strengths, and the intrapersonal and interpersonal are my weaknesses.

Some of the questions were culture bound. I imagine that country of residence and age group could affect your scores.

Still, I loved the super-powers question. I so want the ability to understand every language in the world!

Musical

31% Logical, 25% Spatial, 16% Linguistic, 49% Intrapersonal, 14% Interpersonal, 55% Musical, 24% Bodily-Kinesthetic and 12% Naturalistic!

I LOL'd at this question: If Timmy has 7 apples, and Laura takes away 3 apples, and Joey comes up and kicks Timmy in the balls, how many apples does Timmy have left?

Anyway, I got linguistic. Also of note, it said "You scored 24% on Logical, higher than 42% of your peers."

Intrapersonal

24% Logical, 29% Spatial, 25% Linguistic, 59% Intrapersonal, 6% Interpersonal, 27% Musical, 8% Bodily-Kinesthetic and 47% Naturalistic!

"This area has to do with introspective and self-reflective capacities. Those who are strongest in this intelligence are typically introverts and prefer to work alone. They are usually highly self-aware and capable of understanding their own emotions, goals and motivations. They often have an affinity for thought-based pursuits such as philosophy. They learn best when allowed to concentrate on the subject by themselves. There is often a high level of perfectionism associated with this intelligence.

Careers which suit those with this intelligence include philosophers, psychologists, theologians, writers and scientists."

Intrapersonal
35% Logical, 20% Spatial, 27% Linguistic, 59% Intrapersonal, 4% Interpersonal, 18% Musical, 18% Bodily-Kinesthetic and 59% Naturalistic!
