Multiple Intelligences Self Assessment Quiz

In “A Rounded Version: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences”, Howard Gardner illustrates how there are a variety of intelligences. Gardner starts off with an example how IQ tests may predict achievement in school but may not predict achievement in life. After finding out certain parts of the brain are responsible for certain functions, such as “Broca’s Area” which is responsible for sentence production, Gardner proposes the existence of multiple intelligences. Multiple studies later led him to propose seven distinct intelligences; Musical, bodily-kinesthetic, logical-mathematical, linguistic, spatial, interpersonal, and intrapersonal. Each intelligence has certain classifications. According to Gardner’s classifications, I realized my intelligences are bodily-kinesthetic, logical-mathematical, and intrapersonal.

The second self-assessment that I completed was the multiple intelligence assessment. I found that this assessment was the most meaningful for me out of the three. During this self-assessment I was able to quickly answer questions about myself and then reflect at the end about whether or not the outcomes

While looking over my answers on the “Multiple Intelligence Scoring Sheet”, I’ve noticed that I only have “strong abilities” in the musical category. However, I also have abilities in interpersonal and intrapersonal as well. I honestly do agree on with Howard Gardner’s Theory and his descriptions because each category is written with logical meanings. After reviewing the types of roles that I was put in; the three listed are actually perfect for me, and the others don’t quite correlate with me personally, except spatial-visual.

When considering Howard Gardner’s multiple intelligence, personalisation leans towards the understanding and application of different learning styles, namely audio-visual, and kinaesthetic. However Coffield et al (2004) suggest that the effectiveness of this focus is varied, in terms of their reliability and as a motivator for learning. Placing the learner at the heart of the teaching process and in turn enabling them to take more responsibility for their learning can also be delivered through developing learning objectives reflective of individual and classroom

Now I do agree with the statements that the Multiple Intelligence Survey did give me my correct answers. As I said about the Bodily - Kinesthetic was about how to always be correct or perfect, but what it said my lowest skills was naturalistic, musical, and logical. This statement is true none of these things are skills that have ever come naturally to me. For example, it states in the text that "It is about being connected to who you are and how you feel, and knowing your own limits and abilities." This means that people will know their limits in their lives and how they feel in their lives. Also, it says logical means that they are more advanced at solving complex problems and that they are able to form a more advanced understanding of relationships. Lastly, another one of my lowest scores was music. This is for those type of people who enjoy making music or playing instruments. This is something that does not describe me . I am not someone who enjoys playing instruments or making music. So from the results that were given to me based off of my survey I am able to conclude that the results were not at all surprising to

After completing the assessment, the inventory concludes that my learning style is predominantly feeling and concrete experiences. For concrete experience, my score of 43 reveals my passion to learn information that I believe is relevant for myself. Subsequently, scoring 34 for active experimentation indicates my preference for applying and testing ideas to understand a concept. Additionally, scoring 25 for reflective observation reveals how I learn concepts through observing others complete a task. Scoring 18 for abstract conceptualization indicates how my learning style does not depend on facts and figure. With all of these learning styles, my graph illustrates strong areas in mode 4 and 1, however, it is immensely low in mode 2 and 1. Overall, my results showcase that I belong in mode 4 learning. The learning style inventory is accurate as it reveals that my strongest learning style is concrete experience. This

After taking the learning styles and study strategies quiz, I received the results of 50% tactile, 25% Auditory, and 25% visual learner. I would strongly agree with these results because I am a

I chose multiple intelligence tests because this quiz test increased my knowledge and showed my score in the different area. After this test, I learned that we all have multiple intelligence but in varying degrees. We all have some stronger and some weaker part of intelligence. Not just the language and the math, but all intelligences are important.

After completing the Abilities Pre-Assessment form, I learned more about myself and how I view the world around me. Although I have always had a general idea of how I view myself, the assessment broke down the sections into small pieces which allowed me to evaluate myself on a different level. For example, before taking the assessment, I would have rated my general communication skills as very low because I don’t talk well in front of a large group. However, after reading the subcategories, I realized that certain aspects of communication, such as changing how I communicate so others can understand me, is something I learned to be good at when I trained other employees at my last job. In the communication section, I also learned I am a

these two fit me perfectly! Furthermore, they incorporate an immense part of who I am, as well as the

The three major learning styles among others is known as "multiple intelligence," by Howard Gardner. Research shows that measuring intelligence in this way involves using the characteristics of the learning styles in order to come to understand in which areas learners may be skilled in.

Howard Gardner recognizes that intelligence is more than the single logical-mathematical processing of stored facts that intelligence tests assess. He views intelligence as problem-solving, problem-creating, and problem-finding across a range of situations. There are a total of eight Multiple Intelligences: Logical-Mathematical, Linguistic, Musical, Spatial, Bodily-Kinesthetic, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, and lastly, Naturalist Intelligence. These Intelligences allow educators to carefully integrate several content areas within a specific curricula.

A) I expected to get artistic, creative and investigative as my results on surveys that I took, because I already knew I had these traits as a part of my personality. However, the results from my learning styles survey were a little surprising to me. I got visual as my highest total score, while kinesthetic and auditory were almost balanced out scores. The reason why I was a little surprised was that last year, I took a survey to figure out my learning style, and I got both auditory and visual learner. The results have their little differences, but that shows people do change over time. Learning styles can be learned and strengthened.

The results of my self assessment were pretty accurate to what I know about myself. I have strong intrapersonal and interpersonal skills. I maintain strong relationships with others and think deeply about my life choices, goals, and ambitions. The only score that I thought would be higher was my musical score. I can play a musical instrument and I enjoy listening to music, but I don’t like to sing or play for others. Thinking back to my childhood, I was a linguistic learner. I followed directions well, if someone modeled how to do something, I could follow it and explain it back. I liked talking with someone personally to understand different concepts. The older I got, I was able to adapt to how my teachers’ taught. I had one teacher who loved using bodily-kinesthetic activities, I had other teachers who loved to sing and use logical-mathematical thinking. If I didn’t adjust to their styles of teaching, I wouldn’t have been successful in their class. I believe learning patterns can be altered because my learning pattern was altered. I’ve learned many different things from teachers who have different teaching styles. Teaching is an art and all teachers should use different teaching styles. Having a wide variety of teachers with different teaching styles made me a well rounded learner.

Students are more positive about each other when they learn co-operatively than when they learn alone, competitively, or individualistically. Students are more effective interpersonally as a result of working together (Johnson and Johnson, 1984). My two lessons reflect good practice primarily because of the use of group work and the consideration of students’ differing learning styles. Good practice – Multiple Intelligences Howard Gardner is an American psychologist who came up with the theory of Multiple Intelligences. Multiple Intelligences are different ways to demonstrate intellectual ability. Gardner proposes seven different intelligences: linguistic, logic-mathematical, musical, spatial, bodily kinesthetic, interpersonal and intrapersonal (http://www.infed.org/thinkers/gardner.htm). Seven kinds of intelligence allow seven ways to teach, rather than one. Teachers, therefore, should to attend to all intelligences. Students should have opportunities to work on tasks where their style of intelligence can be utilised best.
