Multiple intelligence Test

I recently took the Multiple Intelligence Test and I found out that my two strengths are interpersonal (people smart) and intrapersonal (myself smart). I was quite surprised at first as most people would either have a high interpersonal intelligence and a low intrapersonal intelligence or vice versa. This shows that I am not only able to relate to others well, but I also know myself well. This is indeed true as from young, my parents have taught me to always do self reflection when I make a mistake or hurt the feelings of others. I guess this was what enabled to be able to understand more about how others feel and react to different situations, thus not only teaching me how to handle myself, but also allow me to relate to others better true mutual understanding. This two types of intelligence are closely related, though it may be hard to balance between the two as there would be many instances where the instinct to "do what benefits us" would overpower our utilitarian concept of thinking. This is the main reason why many interpersonal and intrapersonal lack the knowledge to either relate to others or themselves.

Not only these two types of intelligences, but many other intelligences are also close interrelated and many of us would be standing in between them. The Multiple Intelligence Test really gives a new way of looking at our intellect, from the passive "How smart are you?" to a more suitable "How am I smart?" It also enables us to articulate, drawing relations between our strengths and weaknesses. This encourages many of us to pursue what is most suitable for our intellectual ability and also helps teachers to be able to access the skills of their students to allow to develop on their intelligences. Yes, all of us are smart and have our different ways of approaching issues and problems. Thus, I really encourage all of you to take the Multiple Intelligence Test. So, the next time someone asks you "How smart are you?", you can laugh and reply "I am smart in my own unique way!"
