Someone with an intrapersonal intelligence is often introspective. This type of intelligence typically involves a heightened self-knowledge, the ability to make firm decisions that will achieve what the individual needs, and a knowledge of future goals. People with intrapersonal intelligence work best alone. Howard Gardner helped establish the idea of multiple intelligences in his 1983 book "Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences."References:

It means you are probably not destined to be in a fraternity, or in my case...a business person, and may have to fake your way through life in a society where your intelligence is used against you by those with less than pure motives. Does that sound a bit cynical? Oh well...thankfully there are plenty of uses for one's gifts whether natural or spiritual, to bless yourself and others in spite of the painful side of introspection.

It's like viewing yourself in the third person, objectivly looking at yourself and your life clearly and without ego, often it takes an ego collapse to arrive.

It means you asked a dumb question.

The ability to take responsibility for one's own response and self-knowledge; i.e., full self-possession - and control over one's responses to negativity and manipulation, outward suggestion, etc. Societal laws expect humans to have all achieved an extremely high III, though this has not been achieved - or even set as a societal goal. Everyone without a high III is capable of being cornered into fight-or-flight given our animal roots.

It means you're the guy in the corner planning revenge.

that sounds like a convoluted way of saying that you're introspective and insightful...

It means that a person, such as myself likes working alone and are very self-aware.
It's a form of Intelligence. I'm a proud member of MENSA with an extraordinarily high IQ. **Intelligent people are considered outcast by society.**

What you think of yourself
by Delia_C8403 on October 19th, 2010
Intrapersonal intelligence, (self smart) refers to having an understanding of yourself, of knowing who you are, what you can do, what you want to do, how you react to things, which things to avoid, and which things to gravitate toward. We are drawn to people who have a good understanding of themselves because those people tend not to screw up. They tend to know what they can do. They tend to know what they need help.
