Ok, a lot of us know that although their is a correlation with IQ and chess skill, what i'd like the know which learning type of person would be able to grasp chess the quickest.

These are my thoughts:

1. Spatial - Pattern recognition can be a big help in chess.

2. Logical-Mathematical - Ability to reason through a game.

3. Intrapersonel - The apsect of soloness helps.

4. Musical - I think that listening to music while playing chess could give these people a good advantage.

5. Linguistic - Watching videos can help these people.

6. Interpersonel - The social environment of a good chess club.

7. Bodily-kinestetic - You got to sit still.

What are your thoughts?

I am the exact opposite of musical, and I am a little spacial and mathematical, although I am not great at it. You cannot listen to music at a tournament, but music can help people think and give them inspiration. It might also work as a psychological anchor to get them to be in their best condition to play.

Okay, lets see

Spatial: Yes, pattern recognition is really useful as you can see common tactical themes (i.e. the smothered mate)

Logical-Mathematical: It helps as if you are good at calculating in math, chances are, you can calculate even at least a move ahead on the chess board.

Intrapersonal: Some people actually learn better by themselves.

Musical: Music can inspire, ease the soul, and calm the mind and it can relax you while playing chess (well listen to it not during but possibly before and after?)

Linguistic: Uhhhh... I guess it depends on the person if they WANT to watch videos or not.

Interpersonel: It's good to learn from other people, however, some people prefer to learn by themselves.

Bodily-kinestetic: Yea, it's pretty important that you can sit still. I don't expect someone with ADD to be able to sit for an hour while waiting for his/her opponent to move.

Those are my opinions on all the listed.
