What was the name of that elf who wanted to be a dentist?

Yet another timewaster personality test, as I wind down my absurdly long and otherwise bizarre day:

The Seven Intelligence Areas

Linguistic: 7
Logical-Mathematical: 10
Spatial: 7
Bodily-Kinesthetic: 2
Musical: 2
Interpersonal: 3
Intrapersonal: 6

A Short Definition of your Highest Score

Logical-Mathematical - the ability to use numbers to compute and describe, to use mathematical concepts to make conjectures, to apply mathematics in personal daily life, to apply mathematics to data and construct arguments, to be sensitive to the patterns, symmetry, logic, and aesthetics of mathematics, and to solve problems in design and modeling. Possible vocations that use the logical-mathematics intelligence include accountant, bookkeeper, statistician, tradesperson, homemaker, computer programmer, scientist, composer, engineer, inventor, or designer.

For those not able to read between the lines, that all boils down to one word: nerd. As in pocket protector wearing, guys hang you over the railing, high water pants-style nerd. If it featured a "Bathing-Personal Grooming" category I'd get a 2 in there as well. And the assessment seems about right. Yet how can I use this new information about me to make the convincing argument that what I'm really cut out for sitting around doing nothing but thinking about stuff? Can you get a government grant to do nothing?

Oh, and I almost forgot: What pisses me off? People too stupid to properly use HTML comments in their completely unnecessary JavaScript code. Or those ignorant enough to use a browser so broken that it would show them anything on that page but a blue background. Friends, as they say, don't let friends use IE.

I'd have figured that your spatial category would come in at a 9 or so. To me, spatial ties in (at least somewhat) to logical-mathematical and linguistic ties in (again, at least somewhat) to interpersonal.

Without seeing your scores, I could have probably predicted your stongest to weakest categories in order, as I'm sure you could mine. I put the results up on SilverLadder under the rant section.

No real surprises on my results.

Math- 1
Linguistics-10

I'm the Operations Supervisor for a Credit Union. Lots of numbers. Explains the anxiety issues, the headaches, the screaming sessions in the vault...
