As many of you will know I am a bit of a sucker for online personality quizzes. So I took another one recommended by Sally: The 4-Variable IQ Test (warning: after taking this you are required to register to view your results). And I am not surprised that the result was as follows (not sure if the picture of Einstein at a blackboard will come out):
Your result for The 4-Variable IQ Test …
Mathematical
15% interpersonal, 20% visual, 20% verbal and 45% mathematical!
Brother-from-another-mother! Like mine, your highest scoring intelligence is Mathematical. You thrive on logic, numbers, things representing numbers, and sets of things that are sets of other things, with numbers nowhere in sight. You probably like the online comic called XKCD, and if you don’t, check it out.
You probably knew you’d score “Mathematical” as you took the test, and mathy types are usually super-high scorers on this axis, and low on the others. Why? Because you (we) yearn for math.
Anyway, your specific scores follow. On any axis, a score above 25% means you use that kind of thinking more than average, and a score below 25% means you use it less. It says nothing about cognitive skills, just your interest.
Your brain is roughly:
15% Interpersonal
20%Visual
20%Verbal
45%Mathematical
My results were:
Visual
5% interpersonal, 55% visual, 25% verbal and 15% mathematical!
Your strongest type of intelligence is Visual. You thrive on spatial thinking, shapes, patterns, and form. You’re unlikely to be blind. You can probably think in 3D very easily. You are very likely to be attractive, based on only my most rudimentary anecdotal evidence. And you are likely to appreciate a good body in a lover.
My results were:
Your strongest type of intelligence is Verbal. You thrive on words, word games, and languages in general. I’m feeling insecure as I write this, because you are reading it. You see, language demands a certain level of recursive thought, and, as someone who just scored highly on it, I’m guessing you already noted the intentional dangling modifier I just put in this sentence. Didn’t you? Smarty pants. 4-eyes.
Your specific scores follow. On any axis, a score above 25% means you use that kind of thinking more than average, and a score below 25% means you use it less. It says nothing about cognitive skills, just your interest.
Your brain is roughly:
20% Interpersonal
20%Visual
50%Verbal
10%Mathematical
Matching Summary: Each of us has different tastes. Still, I offer the following advice to the world.
1. Don’t date someone if your interpersonal percentages differ by more than 20%.
2. Don’t be friends with someone if your verbal percentages differ by more than 25%.
3. Don’t have sex with someone if their math percentage is over 50%.
Interesting stuff – not sure how much of it I really believe, though. I didn’t spot the intentional dangling modifier

ElShaddai and Rachel, thanks. Rachel, since my math percentage is not quite over 50%, I hope that is not some kind of proposition! 😉 But then I am not allowed to be your friend ;-( I had a similar set of advice but didn’t post it.

This site is going to need an “Elf and Safety” warning the way you keep finding these! And I have just had a training day at work looking at an activity with high interpersonal content.
So I got
Interpersonal 10%
Visual 25%
Verbal 30%
Mathmatical 35%
Being higher on the logic based activities of maths and verbal reasoning does not surprise me. A bit higher on visual than I expected. My family history of artistic tendencies has missed me out and jumped to my younger daughter especially.
Not sure how I relate a low score on persoanl to being a peacemaker on the last one you found! Roll on the next.
