~Polyhymnia~
Your muse is Polyhymnia, She of Many Hymns, whose
domain is Sacred Music. Her symbol is,
elusively enough, a pensive look. You enjoy
religious music, either because of its
wonderful melodies and harmonies, or because
you're very religious yourself.

A Short Definition of your Highest Score

Musical - the ability to understand and develop musical technique, to respond emotionally to music and to work together to use music to meet the needs of others, to interpret musical forms and ideas, and to create imaginative and expressive performances and compositions. Possible vocations that use the musical intelligence include technician, music teacher, instrument maker, choral, band, and orchestral performer or conductor, music critic, aficionado, music collector, composer, conductor, and individual or small group performer.

Being unfamiliar with the term "intrapersonal," I went looking for info. The following information is from the M.I. Smart website, and refers mainly to identifying children of various personality types, and how to motivate and manage them in the classroom. Bolding and italics are mine, for self-recognition.

Intrapersonal intelligence, (self smart) refers to having an understanding of yourself, of knowing who you are, what you can do, what you want to do, how you react to things, which things to avoid, and which things to gravitate toward. We are drawn to people who have a good understanding of themselves because those people tend not to screw up. They tend to know what they can do. They tend to know what they can’t do. And they tend to know where to go if they need help.

Some examples of intrapersonal individuals: NEIL ARMSTRONG, HELEN KELLER, COLUMBUS, CHARLES LINDBERGH, JOAN OF ARC, CLARA BARTON, CLEOPATRA, LEIF ERICSSON, SIR EDMOND HIlLARY

*I think this is the kernel at the center of this information, and probably of me, as well. Navel-gazing, in an inward spiral that's sometimes difficult to pull out of.
