Okay, I'm sorry, but any quiz that produces a result wherein my lowest percentile score is verbal is either sampling a pool with a disproportionate percentage of Nielsen Haydens or simply rectocranially inverse.

Your brain: 100% interpersonal, 100% visual, 60% verbal, and 140% mathematical!

Congratulations on being 400% smart! Actually, on my test, everyone is. The above score breaks down what kind of thinking you most enjoy doing. A score above 100% means you use that kind of thinking more than average, and a score below 100% means you use it less. It says nothing about how good you are at any one, just how interested you are in each, relatively. A substantial difference in scores between two people means, conclusively, that they are different kinds of thinkers.

Matching Summary: Each of us has different tastes. Still, I offer the following advice, which I think is obvious:

Don't date someone if your interpersonal percentages differ by more than 80%.
Don't be friends with someone if your verbal percentages differ by more than 100%.
Don't have sex with someone if their math percentage is over 200%.

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 82% on interpersonal

You scored higher than 62% on visual

You scored higher than 47% on verbal

You scored higher than 92% on mathematical

I'm also a bit dubious about being in the 98th percentile for mathematical ability/preference, but I do have enough mathematical ability to be quite sure that my brain is not 140% mathematical. Unless they're trying to say that I've been borrowing 2/5 of someone else's brain to do math with, which, okay, that's a fair cop.

EDIT Wherein I demonstrate that I do so know how to spell Nellson-Haddon. Need I add: argh.
