What others think

Altogether 36,322 have taken that quiz so far and like a poll it can tell us something about people.

  • 37% of the quizzed were labeled interpersonal intelligence (mob/masses)
  • 15% were intra personal (loners/thinkers)
  • 14% musical intelligence (left brainers/artsy types)
  • 11% bodily kinesthetic (hands-on type/brutes)
  • 8% spatial intelligence (?/!)
  • 8% linguistic intelligence (writers/speakers)
  • 4% logical-mathematical (nerds/nerds)

(I inserted the parenthetical comments from what I think these types of intelligence are referring to.)

It would seem from everyday experience that most people really are a part of the crowd. They do not think entirely for themselves. Much of what they believe or 'know' has been told to them by another person who heard it from someone else. They are a part of "the masses". The masses will not stop being the masses either. No amount of education or information will change the way they relate to others and the world around them. Influence gets the masses to move though. Hollywood movies, pop icons, targeted advertising, 'news' media and Federal government (which includes government schools) are the prime movers.

Think about it, no really; don't just accept it because I said it, think about it.
