Every person has all types of smarts - MI theory is not a "type theory" for determining the one intelligence that fits! It is about brain functioning, and that each person has capacities in all seven intelligences.

There are many ways to show your gifts within intelligences as well as between intelligences.
Can you give examples of some ways to show your smarts?
Intelligences usually work together in complex ways - each intelligence is actually a "fiction"; meaning no intelligence exists by itself in life (except perhaps in very rare instances in savants and brain-injured individuals.) Intelligences are always interacting with each other.
