Are "play personalities" the same as multiple intelligences?

I recently received a question from a person working in the field of education. She wanted to know whether there is any overlap between the eight play personalities described by Stuart Brown and how these might intersect with multiple intelligences. She asked “Are we intelligent in the same way we play?”

My response:

I suspect that there may be some link between personality types and "MI" e.g. personal intelligence strengths lead to different careers and ways of thinking compared to logical-mathematical intelligences, but how to show it, and how to figure out which came first, is a chicken-egg problem.

I DON’T think that personality types and intelligences are the same.
