These tests are for screening. A result is not a diagnosis: only a psychiatrist or psychologist can make one, after talking with you.
Your answers are scored on this device and never sent. Only your result is saved, with the email address you confirm.
Confirm your email address
Before the test we send a 6-digit code to your email address. Your result is saved with it, so that our team can help you if you wish. The email with the code contains no health information.
Show how well each statement fits you by choosing one of the answers from “Fits me very little” to “Fits me very well”.
Choosing an answer takes you to the next question. You can go back at any time.
Your result
Linguistic intelligence
Linguistic intelligence is the capacity to use language well: reading, writing, telling things and enjoying wordplay. A higher score means you use this area more and see it as more of a strength; every intelligence can be developed with practice.
Logical-mathematical intelligence
Logical-mathematical intelligence is the capacity to work with numbers, reason, see cause and effect and solve problems. A higher score means you use this area more and see it as more of a strength; every intelligence can be developed with practice.
Visual-spatial intelligence
Visual-spatial intelligence is the capacity to think in images, colours, shapes and space, to picture things in the mind and to find your way. A higher score means you use this area more and see it as more of a strength; every intelligence can be developed with practice.
Bodily-kinaesthetic intelligence
Bodily-kinaesthetic intelligence is the capacity to use the body and hands skilfully and to learn by moving, touching and doing. A higher score means you use this area more and see it as more of a strength; every intelligence can be developed with practice.
Musical-rhythmic intelligence
Musical-rhythmic intelligence is sensitivity to sound, melody and rhythm, and enjoyment of listening to, singing or playing music. A higher score means you use this area more and see it as more of a strength; every intelligence can be developed with practice.
Interpersonal intelligence
Interpersonal intelligence is the capacity to understand other people, communicate and work with them, and take the lead. A higher score means you use this area more and see it as more of a strength; every intelligence can be developed with practice.
Intrapersonal intelligence
Intrapersonal intelligence is the capacity to know your own feelings, strengths and limits, to reflect on your own and to set personal goals. A higher score means you use this area more and see it as more of a strength; every intelligence can be developed with practice.
Naturalist intelligence
Naturalist intelligence is an interest in nature, plants and animals, and the capacity to observe your surroundings and to group and classify things. A higher score means you use this area more and see it as more of a strength; every intelligence can be developed with practice.

Take your result as a rough guide, not a diagnosis. How you feel over time, and a conversation with a specialist, tell much more than a questionnaire.
Talk it through with a specialist
If your result worries you, or you would like to talk it through, our psychiatrists can review it with you, free and without obligation.
Based on Gardner H (1983), theory of multiple intelligences; inventory revised by Harms to include naturalist intelligence.

About this test
The Multiple Intelligences Inventory looks at your leanings in eight areas: linguistic, logical-mathematical, visual-spatial, bodily, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal and naturalist intelligence. It has 80 items, 10 for each area, and takes about 12 minutes. Each area is scored from 10 to 50, and your results are listed from highest to lowest. Everyone has all of these intelligences; this is not an IQ test or a diagnostic tool, and its aim is to help you notice your strengths, not to label you.
