What I found interesting about this exercise was that we all learn, remember and see things in different ways. If you are not great in math, that does not mean that you are not smart. According to Howard Gardner, "we are all able to know the world through language, logical-mathematical analysis, spatial representation, musical thinking, the use of the body to solve problems or to make things, an understanding of other individuals, and an understanding of ourselves. Where individuals differ is in the strength of these intelligences - the so-called profile of intelligences -and in the ways in which such intelligences are invoked and combined to carry out different tasks, solve diverse problems, and progress in various domains."
What I found challenging about the exercise was trying to link 2 or more intelligences together and read what I see. This test is easy to manipulate so I tried to link the 2 areas that I knew I am stronger in.

For me, I engage is all kinds of athletics and listen to pretty much any genre of music (if it's good). I also play the drums and mess around on different instruments. I learn material best by "having hands on" experience and studying with slow music playing. When I train in the gym, different music beats are my motivation for stretching, lifting, drills, etc.
