Is your future profession mentioned in the text below? If so, in
which type of intelligence? If not, where would you include it? Why?
People still maintain the incomplete sentiment that “success” depends on a high IQ.
This can really limit someone’s perspective for career possibilities if they don’t
relate to this standard definition of success. One way to expand on career
possibilities is to use the theory of multiple intelligences.
The term “multiple intelligences” was coined by developmental psychologist, Dr.
Howard Gardner in 1983, as a way to describe peoples’ natural inclination for
learning and engaging in the world.

You may be more intelligent than you think. Read on to find a career that fits your
essential intelligence.
1. Naturalist Intelligence (“Nature Smart”)
This is the human ability to discriminate among living things (plants, animals) as
well as sensitivity to other features of the natural world (clouds, rock
configurations). Possible jobs include: astronomer, botanist, conservationist,
marine biologist, ecologist, veterinarian, and meteorologist.
2. Musical Intelligence (“Music Smart”)
Musical intelligence is the capacity to discern pitch, rhythm, timbre, and tone. This
intelligence enables us to recognize, create, reproduce, and reflect on music.
Possible jobs include: audiologist, choir director, music critic, music promoter,
music teacher, music therapist, recording engineer, sound editor, and speech
pathologist.
3. Logical-Mathematical Intelligence (“Number/Reasoning Smart”)
Logical-mathematical intelligence is the ability to calculate, quantify, consider
propositions and hypotheses, and carry out complete mathematical operations. This
fits the traditional view of intelligence and encompasses the stereotypical
prestigious career. Possible jobs include: accountant, computer analyst or
technician, computer programmer, database designer, economist, engineer, lawyer,
mathematician, physician, and researcher.
4. Interpersonal Intelligence (“People Smart”)
Social intelligence involves effective verbal and nonverbal communication, the
ability to note distinctions among others, and sensitivity to the moods and
temperaments of others. Possible jobs include: diplomat, leader, manager,
politician, social worker, receptionist, sales representative, counselor, and coach.
5. Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence (“Body Smart”)
Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence is the capacity to manipulate objects and use a
variety of physical skills. There is a body-mind coordination that replaces
articulating verbal or mathematical reasoning. Possible jobs include: athlete,
dancer, mechanic, actor/actress, physical education instructor, physical therapist,
firefighter, and paramedic.
6. Linguistic Intelligence (“Word Smart”)
Linguistic intelligence is the ability to think in words and to use language to express
and appreciate complex meanings. Possible jobs include: editor, public speaker,
politician, historian, journalist, teacher, writing tutor, language teacher, and
actor/actress.
7. Intrapersonal Intelligence (“Self-Smart”)
Intrapersonal intelligence is the capacity to understand oneself and one’s thoughts
and feelings, and to use such knowledge in planning and directing one’s life.
Possible jobs include: psychologist, philosopher, writer, career counselor,
consultant, criminologist, personal counselor, and program planner.
8. Spatial Intelligence (“Picture Smart”)
Spatial intelligence is the ability to think in three dimensions. Core capacities
include mental imagery, spatial reasoning, image manipulation, graphic and artistic
skills, and an active imagination. Possible jobs include: artist, architect, graphic
designer, engineer, fashion designer, interior decorator, strategic planner,
surveyor, and urban planner.
You’ll probably find proficiency in several of these categories, so a helpful exercise
is to select your top three areas of aptitude and create a Venn-diagram. From here
you can explore careers that overlap between your different capacities.

Answer the question you will find half-way through the text.
These questions are typically designed not to have a right or wrong answer.
Weird interview questions are designed to be unexpected and not fit the
mold of typical interview questions.
Not long ago, in a job interview applicants were asked for a solution to this
problem:
As you have a sports car, you can pick up only one. If you
were in this situation, who would you pick up?

The Exam
Once, there were three applicants in an exam hall. It was a freezing cold
morning and it was raining heavily. They were sitting in a room,
feeling colder than the day because the company had called the three of
them and they knew there was only one vacancy.
No one replied to him and he left. To the candidates’ surprise, the paper
sheets were blank.
When the exam started, Candidate 1 wrote something on the paper and the
guard threw him out. He was considered the most intelligent.

IMPORTANT!
We use the PAST CONTINUOUS to say that someboby was in the middle
of doing something at a certain time. The action had started before this
time but had not finished:

PAST NOW
This time last year I was attending the admission course at UNLaM.
What were you doing at 8 a.m. last Saturday?
Note: There are some verbs (like, want, believe, etc.) that are not normally
used in the continuous. Example:
I was enjoying the class but I wanted to go home because I was wet.
Weird job interview stories that’ll leave you confused for a long
time…
1. STORY 1
I was at a job interview for a position as an administrator at a tattoo salon.
1
The HR manager asked/was asking me to show him my Instagram
nickname on my phone so I 2stretched/was stretching the phone out to
88 / 129
him. He 3took/was taking the phone and started to scroll through my
4
posts. He even took note of what I liked/was liking. He also
5
asked/was asking me why some of the photos had fewer likes than
6
others. While he did/was doing all this from my personal phone, I
7
felt/was feeling like a ready-to-be-sold product on the market.
2. STORY 2
1
I went/was going to a job interview at one company. They
2
asked/were asking me to wait a bit in the hall on a couch. As I 3waited/
was waiting, a dog 4approached/was approaching me. I greeted it,
5
stretched my hand out to him, and he licked/was licking it. While I
6
petted/was petting him, the director 7came in/was coming in. Turned
out, it was the director’s dog and one of the questions at the job interview
was, “Are you afraid of dogs?”

My best friend failed a job interview. She 1found out/was finding out
why when she accidentally 2saw/was seeing a piece of paper where the
HR manager 3made/was making notes about candidates. He 4wrote/was
writing about her, “I can see by her hands that she washes the dishes
herself.” Oh gosh, she has normal hands —well-groomed with a neat
manicure. Yes, she does wash the dishes herself. She also cleans the house,
makes the bed, and combs her hair herself. I still have a question about
5
what kind of person they looked for/were looking for if they
6
wanted/were wanting a princess who doesn’t participate in routine
things.
