Do we actually learn anything from this except that diversity is a nice thought?

Try to see beyond the 'here and now', and understand deeper meanings
consider moral and ethical implications of problems as well as practical solutions

Like existential thinkers, Leonardo questioned man's role in the universe. Many of his paintings explored the relationship between man and God. Other Existential Thinkers include
The Buddha, Gandhi, Plato, Socrates, Martin Luther King

Logical-Mathematical Thinker

I'm a musical thinker, but that's kind of unfair. I watched myself answer "always" to all the music questions, but I wish I got to see a ranking of my possible results.

In other similar tests, I score 100% in musical, logical, and intrapersonal. This one includes a 9th intelligence, existentialism, that I'm sure I would score extremely high on as well.

Meh. Pointless test.

Musical thinkers:
Tend to think in sounds, and may also think in rhythms and melodies
Are sensitive to the sounds and rhythms of words as well as their meanings.
Feel a strong connection between music and emotions

This fits, though I think intrapersonal thinker fits me even better.
