Creative Genius

You have a fondness for original and unusual things. Where others like to have things designed for them, you like to start from scratch and do things YOUR way. You're a unique individual who is always coming up with interesting and creative solutions. Sometimes you even see problems others don't see because your brain works a bit differently. You're intelligently creative and probably have a great appreciation for anything beautiful.

Verbal Genius

When it comes to arguments, you're the heavyweight champion. If someone steps into that verbal ring with you, they're about to get pummeled to the metaphorical floor. You have a large vocabulary, and, unlike most people, you actually make full use of it. It's a shame you can't always display your full potential for language for fear people may think you are condescending them, but it's just the way your mind works.

Mathematical Genius

You've always had a head for numbers, and calculus was probably not the nightmare for you that it is for most. While this is a wonderful gift, you must maintain it like a muscle, or risk losing it! Challenge yourself with math, engineering, and logic puzzles, and you'll see how fast you become proficient at it. You've got what it takes!

Mechanical Genius

It's not just that you can fix almost anything that goes wrong at home (although you probably can!), but you just have a mind that responds to mechanical things and the pattern of building them. When it comes to disassembling a radio and putting it back together, you'd probably be the fastest one to accomplish it. People like you often become engineers involved in construction, math, and many other aspects of logical and mechanical thinking.

Emotional Genius

Emotional intelligence is something that is FINALLY getting recognized for how incredibly important it is. We probably use this kind of intelligence dozens of times a day. It's not just about understanding others, being attuned to their state of mind, and accepting it (although that's definitely part of it); it's also about being smart about your own emotions and knowing how to examine them, understanding them, and finally using them to your advantage.
