These are the results of my MIT. I feel that the Multiple Intelligence test is not an accurate guage of "Intellience in specific areas". The test comprises of 40 questions, and they are basically on the above intelligences. I feel that this test is unable to provide accurate answers due to the fact that a big part of the results depend on the mindset of people. People who are "modest" would feel that they do not have substantial intelligence on a paticular area, this would lower their rating. On the other hand, people who are more"proud" and have more confidence in their own abilities would rate themselves highly. Fluctation caused by this factors would hence cause inaccuracies in the results.

Furthermore, it is very hard to guage intelligence with tests like this and numerals cannot be used to rate such "stuff". The questions are not very appopriate and like alex said, fufiling the requirements of the question, does not mean that you have or are efficient in that particular intelligence.

Hence, I feel that the MIT is not an accurate guage of someone's intelligence as it is simply to vague and general and that the results are suceptible to fluctuations which would cause inaccuracies.

Do you think MIT is accurate? why or why not? Pls comment!
