Possible careers for those that have 'Logical Intelligence'

[yzsn3b]

I took a intelligence type test and I scored 99 on logical intelligence but only 50 on mathematical intelligence.

They define logical intelligence as such.



Logical
Individuals with logical intelligence tend to possess excellent reasoning skills. They can easily recognize and solve problems using logical patterns to categorize, infer, make generalizations, and test hypotheses. This intelligence is most often associated with scientific thinking. People with this intelligence type enjoy playing with abstract and logical ideas. They learn best by approaching each problem as a puzzle to be solved.

Common capacities and strengths, or interests:

Good sense of cause and effect

Abstract pattern recognition; symbolic thought

Inductive reasoning, deductive reasoning, sequential reasoning

Finding relationships and connections

Scientific reasoning; proposing and testing hypotheses

Logical thinking

Deciphering codes, solving mysteries, strategy games

Problem-solving

Keeping things in order

Curious about how things work

Logic puzzles, games of strategy (e.g. chess)

Solving scientific/technological problems

IT-related stuff, science


The main career path I've considered is becoming a research scientist in the field of Artificial Intelligence. Just to see other possibilities are there any other careers that fit well into this domain?

What test was it. Math intelligence? Are you kidding? Math is a logical system in and of it self. Its a set of rules that you have to learn and from that you go into more complex systems. Math is a system based on logic and basically is built around logic.

I am not sure what job you should take, but logic is basically a must in every job that requires learing more abstract concepts.

Maybe that is how he means it. Don't get me wrong, I also had this kind of "issue" before I got taste for maths again...

That's not necessarily true. Some of mathematics is pure deduction. But a lot of it requires a certain kind of problem-solving skills that is much more than just logic. I'm not sure what it is exactly, but it seems to be some combination of intuition and creativity.

Intuition and creativity are a huge plus no doupt.

I would say that there are plenty of careers where a logical mind could do well at. The real question is whether you can handle mundane tasks or not.
