These quiz people really need to learn how statistics actually work.

No, that should be 5% interpersonal, 25% visual, 50% verbal, 20% matthematical, for a total of 100%, not 400%. And that "mathematical" result HAS to be skewed based on your idiot test questions. Or maybe not, since I know how percentages work and you clearly do not.

Your brain: 20% interpersonal, 100% visual, 200% verbal, and 80% mathematical!

Heheh - that quiz did have some faults (or more than some, grin)

I -think- they set the percentages like that to show that the 4 types overlap - or something.

Of course - I think most of their 'preference' choices should have an 'all' option - which should show that people aren't just one dimensional: you can like the architects AND the mathematicians AND the playwrights AND the philosophers (and where were the conquerors on that list? I like the Greek conquerors!)

But then again - these types of quizzes are made by people with too much time on their hands - not trained experts in the field (of what? meme creation?)

Thank you, darling! That one's been bugging me since I first saw it. You can't add up to more than 100%. Cannot. :/

It makes those with the future of the species at heart dispair...
