Logical-Mathematical Intelligence

The logical-mathematical intelligence has at its roots “a confrontation with the world of objects,” (Gardner 1993, pg. 129). People displaying a high level of logical-mathematical intelligence can usually perform calculate arithmetic problems very quickly, even advanced problems. A high affinity for scientific endeavors also falls into this category. These individuals are attracted to order and patterns, especially as it relates to numbers and mathematical and scientific symbols.
