I saw this interesting quiz at my friend Karen’s blog. It’s called the Multiple Intelligence Quiz, and it splits up your rating of yourself into various multiples. I guess that’s why it’s called the Multiple Intelligence Quiz, yukyukyuk!!
OK. *ahem*
I wasn’t too impressed. OK, I’ll admit that I am NEVER too impressed with most of the wingbat Internet quizzes! The questions are too general, too predictable. One of them should have asked, “Can you detect the intent and predict the result of this very obvious question we’re about to ask you?”
:duncehat: Um, yeaaaahhhhh.
Like this one:
I am good at mathematical problems and using numbers.
That will probably score you one for the “Mathematical and Logical” multiple intelligence, wouldn’t it? :-p lol. But I will argue that you don’t have to be good at using numbers and solving math problems to have logical intelligence. It ain’t necessarily so. Logic involves much more than working with numbers (or “being good” or “liking” to work with numbers). So that’s what I mean when I say the quiz is too simple. (And FYI, I did score high in the “Debating-istic” section, lol!).
Still, you don’t have to be accurate to take a fun quiz. Here is what I got.
One of the questions was “I know myself well.” I got a kick out of that. Unless you answered “I am always like this,” your quiz results will be skewed, because the quiz is entirely based on self-diagnosis. LOL.
But like I said, it’s a cute quiz. And me being the curious mischief-maker that I am, took the quiz a couple of times, changing the location, age, and answers to see what happened. All it seemed to do was change the word “recognize” to “recognise” in the questions…



Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I'm a freelance writer for national media outlets like USAToday.com, Salon.com, and others. I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.

That was fun and completely meaningless-as you point out. Or is it?

Oh, I had fun with this! I took it and so did Sparkle. I think she will blog about the results in a few days. Interestingly, I scored the same as you in the “People Smart” category… and Sparkle scored even lower! You KNOW she will have something to say about that.
