Which intelligence is most important for you?

[kingjoshi]

Okay, out of the following 7 types of intelligences, which one do you value most? Maybe you're good in it and appreciate it, or you suck at it and wish you were better at it.

I think that interpersonal would probably yield the most successes in life, although logical/mathematical would just be cool.

 

[Fetus4188]

Logical-mathematical and visual-spacial are the two I excell in, they are also the two I enjoy.

 

[Irish Caesar]

Gotta go logical/mathematical for all the engineers out there.

 

[Ramius75]

Hmmmm, all seems rather important. Tempted to say logical Mathematical since im into stocks trading...
but then under which intelligent is common sense and survivalistic instinct come in?

 

[Fifty]

Come on folks you'd get the most chicks with interpersonal!

 

[North King]

Creative in general. Can't decide on which one.

 

[Perfection]

Out of oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen which element is most important for you?

 

[SuperBeaverInc.]

Visual-Spacial

Out of oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen which element is most important for you?

You can lead successful and fulfilling lives being very weak in one or many of the types of intelligences. Athletes/dancers may value body-kinetic or wish they could do something else. Maybe an engineer values their logical-mathematical abilities or wishes they were a musician. And some people excel in multiple intelligences while most are average all around. I hope you can see the distinction versus what question you posed.

carbon!!!!!

but then under which intelligent is common sense and survivalistic instinct come in?

There isn't one, as far as I know. That tends to be a mixture of the types listed and experience. We can't underestimate the value of experience in developing our intelligences.

Each of the types of intelligences listed have been shown empirically to function at specific parts of the brain. They're not necessarily the exact same spot from one person to the next, but usually close and there might only be a couple alternatives.

For each of theses categories, there are people that extremely excel and or are severely impaired in each intelligence.

 

[CartesianFart]

I'd picked linguistics.Why not just learn the language of a particular knowledge and lie your way into a particular position and learn by experience.I say experience and observation is the only true genuine method of understanding anything.

 

[Urederra]

Out of oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen which element is most important for you?

Phosphorus!!!

 

[Syterion]

Intrapersonal? How is that an intelligence? I chose interpersonal since social intelligence is realted to logical, linguistic, and body.

 

[MjM]

Mooosic....

 

[Aramazd]

Logical-mathmatical. This would be most importent for problem solving and math is a fun subject.

Out of oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen which element is most important for you?

Potassium

He he. Got your message. Elegant.

But not really significant here as someone said earlier in this thread.

My vote: logical.

 

[The Last Conformist]

I do physics. Which do you think?

 

[kingjoshi]

I guess I should have expected this, but it's still surprising almost HALF picked one. Some might argue however that many people on the Internet could improve their Interpresonal intelligence in real life
