Existential Intelligence
“Big Question Smart”
You might be strong in this area if you: Are drawn to profound questions about life, death, meaning, and purpose. You enjoy philosophical inquiry, exploring spiritual or universal concepts, and contemplating your place in the larger scheme of things.
Dr. Howard Gardner, Multiple Intelligences (1993).
