Logical/Mathematical Intelligence

Processing information through logic and reason

People with Logical intelligence process information through logic and reason. They are attracted to investigation by means of the scientific method. They do well with quantitative methods that rely on the researcher’s ability to observe and reach a verifiable conclusion.

They dislike nebulous assumptions and subjective analysis. Instead, they trust hard facts and numerical data. They seek accuracy and precision in their learning and work. Their mind is complex and works like a computer. Logical Intelligence thrives on mathematical models, measurements, abstractions and complex calculations. Logical/Mathematical is one of several Multiple Intelligences.

“A good designer must rely on experience, on precise, logic thinking; and on pedantic exactness. No magic will do.” — Niklaus Wirth
