I know what you mean about excelling in some areas etc. in high school, I took the science line due to my love of maths. But I never understood physics, and got rather poor grades...Maries bagerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08146528625904555200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843270625000867544.post-88816108764878804782013-12-30T05:57:20.466+01:002013-12-30T05:57:20.466+01:00Ps.

That's a mixture of some of the subjects I fared best in in uni, the farming education, and high school subjects). <br /><br />So... What do I make of that...<br /><br />I'm highly systematic and good at imagining and detecting patterns of meaning verbally (some aspects - not good at remembering grammar), mathematically (some aspects), socially (some aspects), musically (some aspects - not good at rhythm), in nature, visually (some aspects), intuitively (not reliably). That is all of the areas. And within all of the areas, there are aspects I excel at and others where I'm surprisingly incompetent, and times when I'm super tuned at something and at other times confused and irrational. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843270625000867544.post-44253788171621854962013-12-30T05:56:16.462+01:002013-12-30T05:56:16.462+01:00This is the part I don't think I'll be abl...This is the part I don't think I'll be able to use. I seem to have a bit of all of them that I'm good at and that I'm poor at. My type of intelligence is something that's a part of certain aspects of many different areas and not others. <br /><br />I would say logical/mathematical intelligence is my lowest because math was my least liked subject back in school (especially way back) and because I suck at calculating (even small numbers), but then I'm actually an extremely logical thinker and actually got 11 (old grading system - translated to HD) in Statistics in my BA and have fared well in other math-based subjects as well. As long as I have a calculator then I'm usually fine with math. <br /><br />Social: I'm very solitaire and have social difficulties because my abilities to perceive and handle social culture/group dynamics/politics sucks and for other reasons, but then I can be quite tuned in to some persons and am socially considerate/wise. I can also be a good team worker. <br /><br />Gut feeling: I do have a high intuition but I am prone to bias so I prefer evidence. I use intuition to determine where to start looking for evidence though. <br /><br />Languages/verbal: I'm good at combining words, creating stories, distilling meaning, detecting meaning patterns et.c. - that's what I've focused on from an early age and with the greatest success since I was small. I was always reading and writing stories, or telling stories before I could write. I'm also a quick learner of some languages as first, but I don't have an interest in languages and so quickly tire and stagnate. I also had problems learning English during my BA. I barely passed English Written Proficiency and was told that I wouldn't be able to work for a company where the concern language was English due to my poor pronunciation, strong accent and high propensity to make grammatical errors when speaking English. I'm still being criticised for my accent. It is not even typical Danish, it is my very own accent:-( <br /><br />Music: I've been told I'm talented at music (OK that's long ago and may be a mistake). I do have a good ability to intuitively combine tones e.g. on a piano, I sing well (lots of warm feedback for that - I sing for an audience every week... in Church). I am virtually never off tune. I love to listen to rhythms but I find it difficult to learn & keep a rhythm, so I find it hard to learn to play properly beyond singing. My finger coordination is not very good. I sometimes make music on my laptop (with the Garageband app), then I don't need to play the rhythms myself:-) <br /><br />Visual/spatial: I suck at reading maps and easily get lost inside a building, but think visually and am good at combining visual elements. I understand things only by imagining a visual animation in a 3D space that shows the action. No animation = no understanding (it is very hard to learn Statistics that way).<br /><br />Natural intelligence: high on reading nature through my senses. I'm very curious about ecosystems and how we humans fit into the bigger picture (space comes in here too). Animals has been my biggest interest from I was a young kids and life looses its juice if I can't interact with animals. I also had some of my best results in my farming education in subjects like plant biology, soil science et.c.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
