Intelligence is certainly very multi-faceted, much more than we tend to realized in current human culture (society often beats down various forms of genius at a very young age - doesn't allow it to develop).

The form of that test was a bit limited - will reflect how you view your own intelligence. A test where the questions/answers were less obvious and the results were based on statistical analysis of other test takers would yield more interesting results. Psych tests work this way - depending on how you answer seemingly unrelated questions, your profile is determined based on how other people with known diagnosed profiles answered those same questions. These can be tricky because if you try to fake the test, the test will put you in the category of people who are insecure and try to fake the test, for example.
