Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life: How to Unlock Your Full Potential for Success and Achievement

YOUR INTELLIGENCES 
MAKE YOU UNIQUE
Your combination of intelligences makes you a potential genius, and
also makes you different from anyone else who has ever lived. Think
of yourself this way: Imagine that these 10 intelligences are like the
10 digits from zero through nine. If you take any large city, you will
find that there are hundreds of thousands of people with different
telephone numbers, even though all of their telephone numbers are
made up of an area code plus seven digits.
If you give yourself a score from zero to nine in each of the 10
intelligences, you will have a 10-digit number that describes your
personal combination of intelligences. This unique combination of
intelligences forms a kind of 
personal
intellectual telephone num-
ber. Your private mental code number makes you different from
every other person who has ever lived. Like DNA, the likelihood of
someone else having the same intellectual formula as you is billions
to one.
