Analytical or Intuitive Thinker?
I would consider myself more of an analytical thinker than an intuitive thinker. I tend to overthink a lot so it’s easy for me to believe that my answer is wrong, even though it might be correct. When I have a problem, I try to find as much information as possible before I come to a conclusion. For example, in relationship, sometimes my trust isn’t fully there but I have to look at the facts and evidence before reacting. My gut-feeling is usually stemmed from something that I am afraid might happen, rather than what’s actually in front of me. As for other situations, such as interpreting a topic in class, breaking down the problem, doing research and analyzing every little detail helps me come up with an accurate opinion on it. I would rather dedicate more time in getting an accurate answer than responding with my emotions.
Which of Gardner’s Intelligence(s) do I have?
Gardner’s Intelligences was a theory create by Howard Gardner who believed that all people have their own unique kinds of “intelligences”. The 8 possibilities are visual-spatial, linguistic-verbal, intra-personal, inter-personal, logical-mathematical, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, and naturalistic. I thrive in intra-personal. Since I’m always by myself, I take the time to understand how I feel and my expectations for myself. I’ve always been good at understand myself and my thoughts but it was always so difficult expressing them, which makes me weak in the linguistic category. I also think I thrive in the inter-personal category because I am an observer. I don’t know why or how, but I always feel like I am also experiencing someone’s situation when they tell me theirs. I am extremely empathetic and can almost sense other’s true emotions even when they say the complete opposite. A category that I am in between on is logical-mathematical. I am very good at doing research and collecting data to create an evidence based opinion, but I always second guess and contradict myself. Working on being confident in my answers would help strengthen this type of intelligence.
