About This Quiz

All human beings are born with a sense of intelligence, and this eventually grows and develops from exposure to various experiences. Intelligence can also be divided into one of two categories: street smarts and book smarts. If you're a more street-smart person, then you've probably acquired knowledge from overcoming difficult life obstacles, rather than from reading materials, classroom activities or homework assignments. On the other hand, someone who possesses more book smarts may be intelligent because of their knowledge in all kinds of school subjects, such as art, math, social studies and English. You could also be a rare hybrid of both types of intelligence, which means you might have excelled in both school and certain life experiences!

Within the two categories of book smarts and street smarts includes many different intelligence traits. For example, one of these traits is called "bodily-kinesthetic," which comes from learning by simply immersing yourself (physically) in an activity or a subject. Such intelligence also typically comes from wanting to stay away from classrooms and reading materials, as this may be perceived as boring to some people. So if you're curious about what type of intelligence you possess, take our intellectual personality quiz now!
