Abstract

To become a radiologist and thrive in the practice of radiology, a person needs a high degree of intelligence. Yet, the kind of intelligence captured in traditional IQ tests is insufficient.

Basic Books, New York1983 Google Scholar ] has argued that there are at least 7 types of intelligence: spatial (the ability to visualize 3-D structures with the mind's eye), linguistic (the use of words), logical-mathematical, bodily-kinesthetic (control of motions and handling objects), musical, interpersonal (interaction with others), and intrapersonal (self-reflection).
