Logical/Mathematical Intelligence

What Is Logical-Mathematical Intelligence?

Some individuals are able to learn just about anything using their logical skills. They
are able to calculate and work out relationships and connections between items.
They enjoy mental challenges seeking out solutions to logical, abstract and
mathematical problems and have good deductive reasoning skills. On a lesser scale,
they may simply excel at games involving skill and strategy such as chess or
computer battle games.
Logical-Mathematical Intelligence may be defined as the ability to appreciate and
calculate the effect of actions upon objects or ideas and the relationships among
them. To apply inductive and deductive reasoning skills, to provide solutions and to
overcome complex mathematical and logical challenges as well as solving critical
and creative problems.
The Logical-Mathematical Learner
The logical-mathematical person is inclined to think more conceptually and
abstractly than others and is sometimes able to see patterns and relationships that
others will often miss. A logical-mathematical learner is very systematic and
organised, and loves the challenge of a complex problem to solve.
Logical-mathematical learners can engage in a wide range of skills, some include:
Conducting experiments
Solving puzzles
Asking cosmic questions
Analyse circumstances and peoples behaviour
Working with numbers and formulas
Classifications and categorizations
Mathematical problems on the board
