Added 'Multiple Intelligences' to this one

Quite neat little bedges really.

Whether we believe the results or not is something else ......

So what exactly do they say these scores mean?

My two 'highest marks' were in Intrapersonal and Verbal/Linguisitc areas.  Here are the definitions they give:

People with Linguistic intelligence love and are talented with words. They enjoy reading, writing and learning languages. They have an ability to teach and explain things to others. They learn best by reading, taking notes and going to lectures.

Truly INFP .............. if you believe these tests ......

Always comes out the same though ......

Here's Jung's definition of an INFP:

"creative, smart, idealist, loner, attracted to sad things, disorganized, avoidant, can be overwhelmed by unpleasant feelings..."
