Hi everyone,

I need you help with a college assignment. We are studying Howard Gardener's theory of multiple intelligences and for this assignment I need to ask quite a few people which of the nine intelligence(s) is/are the strongest within themselves and how has that worked to their advantage.

So... from these descriptions below... which ones fit you the best?

So this is gonna either be a total surprise or not a surprise to anyone depending but mine is Verbal-Linguistic. I mean, -yo-, English Teacher is my jam. Advantage: first Gibney in three generations to rock a college degree much less that Masters program I might apply for if I can talk myself into rocking the image inducer and shoes for 2 years.

You'd think it was body-kinth, but that's all the mutation talking, I was the clumsiest fucking kid you ever met before I went all teen wolf.

Body-kinth was honestly the first thing I thought of, but yeah the verbal-linguistic one fits very well!
