Spatial or Picture Smart
If you learn best when you are looking at images,
If you like to daydream, and see images complete and in color in your mind,
If you love to work with artistic mediums, create computer programs, play video games, watch movies
If you remember objects that you see more than words like street names, or people's names or business names,
You are picture smart.
Picture Smart people notice color and patterns and may doodle a lot. They may express themselves in artistic mediums instead of solely in words. They may think better when they are drawing out their thoughts and feelings.
They may be artists, sculptors, painters, illustrators, computer animators, art teachers, graphic artists, photographers, movie producers, or any kind of designer (interior, landscape, fashion etc.).
