Multiple intelligence test

...So, what is multiple intelligences?
It is basically a way of categorizing intelligences. Before Gardner (Howard Gardner, the guy who invented this), it was categorized into two parts - left brain and right brain. Left side is the logical, thinking side and right side is random and instinctive. You say, doesn't that make left superior over right? Not exactly. If we had no right brain, we would not have and artists, musicians, dreamers. The worlds supply of ideas would become limited due to a lack of creativity. Humans would eventually die out. Anyway, that's out of point.
There is NO real way to categorize intelligence, neither is there a way to find out people's intelligences. The other day, I saw some of my classmates repeating the test over and over again to become more 'logical'. I mean, it is a categorization and there is a lot of room for error.
So, I advise you to go with what you FEEL is right. A test is just as good at prediction as a fortune cookie if you cheat. Only YOU know what you are good at. Make the best of it.
