Interesting.
My verbal/linguistic intelligence is (according to this test) very high, higher than I expected. I often have difficulty with finding words for my thoughts. I can't express myself very well in words, though I can write very well. But I have to think about the words for a very long time. I have poorly verbal skills, because conversations are often going too fast for me. Maybe an introverted thing? Or maybe just because I live in my head and almost never come out.
I can recognize myself very well in the description of intrapersonal intelligence, which is my intelligence number one. I didn't even know this is a intelligence! Nice to know this. :D

I think in terms of "quasi visual" dynamic networks I can interpret in terms of shapes and motions if need be. So, i'd say it fits if taken holisticaly rather than trait by trait.
In relation to 'interpersonal', I know I don't interact with most people in the same way an F person would, I tend to mostly deal with people on the "same cognitive level" I'd use dealing with "things or ideas". (which doesn't mean I don't like them or think of them as people, I just mean that my goal is generally efficiency rather than 'humanity' as a special sub set of the natural universe)

So i'd say my dominant 'd be logical if i had to choose one, a good part of my interpersonal is interlaced with the logical and even emerges from it, but I know the networked way I think is quite different in flavour to the way an intp or intj might think (linear thinking actually takes a conscious effort, i have to jump from one point to another and the result is the entire network and not a given line)

Sorry to burst your bubble, but naturalistic intelligence is a bullshit category. There isn't a nature-based cognitive process, rather you use other types of intelligence (usually logical, visual or kinesthetic) in service of an interest in natural knowledge, awareness and expertise.

Well, in that case, for biology (as well as any science for that matter), I use logical deduction/induction to arrive at a conclusion about what I observe in the environment, and kinesthetic when doing dissections, looking at things under a microscope, and working with other apparatuses in the lab.

I suppose given the data that I have from the test on MyPersonality.com, if you eliminated naturalistic intelligence, the logical thing to replace the third strength with would be logical/mathematical, since it fits in the realm of science.

Well, my top on the 'MyPersonality' thingie was Naturalist, but since I find that utterly silly to classify under 'intelligences' (it's an interest, rather than a cognitive aptitude imo), my second highest was Logical/Mathematical followed by Intrapersonal and Visual/Spatial, which were very close.

Interpersonal, Verbal/Linguistic, Kinesthetic, and Musical were all further down, Kinesthetic and Interpersonal being the lowest (the latter I would assume because the questions were very extrovert/introvert-based for that, and I'm pretty introverted).

Interpersonal, visual/spatial, and logical/mathematical, were all tied at 70%, my bottom 2 were musical and naturalistic

I think I shortchanged myself somehow on visual/spatial, but close enough.

I went with visual/spatial on the poll, even though that was actually ranked number two in my inventory. Musical, which was not on the poll, was my actual dominant intelligence.
My top three were:
musical
visual/spatial
kinesthetic
Temperament: SP

If you can write very well, then you can find words for your thoughts. Writing well involves verbal/linguistic ability as much as speaking does. I assume you mean you can't find words for your thoughts quickly and immediately, such as when you are conversing with someone in person.

And yeah, that's an introvert thing. I'm the same way. Extraverts think better when they have something outside themselves to interact with and respond to, and introverts think better when they can be alone and tune in to thoughts and ideas that are already inside them.

Sometimes I think verbal intelligence can make me more reluctant to speak in person. I know I can be so much more articulate in writing, and sometimes I go over conversations afterward and regret the things I didn't say, or didn't say clearly enough. When I can come up with such effective ways to say things in writing, that makes me sound awkward to myself when I remember what I'm like in person.

Musical 100% (since I have played an instrument for 3/4 of my life, and I have near perfect pitch)
Verbal/Linguistic 60%
Naturalist 50% (I live in an area full of mountains and hiking trails)

But since I think the naturalist and musical sections aren't related to intelligences at all, as much as they're related to your circumstances, I'll say that I scored the same on kinesthetic and logical (45%), and they came next.

NT, logical and mathematical. I have an ongoing project improving my interpersonal skills, to make this math teacher not only good at math but also good at teaching!

Very interesting. Seems so far NT results almost perfectly mirror NF results.

Hard question because I'm good at so many things! Besides, there are not all possible options available, for example musical abilities. I once took that test and it said that my musical skills were the best.

Anyway, I replied "mathematical/logical" but I've also been told that I'm really talented at writing and languages, music, dancing, and visual arts.

I didn't take the test now... I know what I'm good at better than that test does.
