Logical-Mathematical Intelligence

Logical-Mathematical Intelligence has to do with logic, abstractions, inductive and deductive reasoning, and numbers.

Rather than those possessing high degrees of logical-mathematical intelligence naturally exceling in mathematics, chess, computer programming, and other logical or numerical activities, their intelligence is more directed at:

traditional mathematical ability
reasoning capabilities
abstract pattern recognition
scientific thinking and investigation
ability to perform complex calculations.

Many claims have been made that logical ability is often more strongly correlated with verbal rather than mathematical ability. One possibility is that formal, symbolic logic, and strict logic games are under the command of mathematical intelligence, while skills such as fallacy hunting, argument construction, etc. are under the command of verbal intelligence.

Careers which suit those with this intelligence include scientists, mathematicians, doctors, and economists.
