Multiple Intelligences


After taking the test, it indicated that I more nature, intrapersonal and body smart. With word smart and music smart being my weaker point. However, I believe that this test can vary from day to day depending on how you feel. I have done the test multiple times, and results do change just not too dramatically. Generally nature and body smart are right up there, while word and number smarts are low (this might predict my results in Literacy and Numeracy for this semester, hope not!).  There are many ways of informing learning design through the knowledge and understanding of where you may sit in the MI test. An example of each smart is matched with a possible strategy below.
Kinesthetic – regular movement breaks, and hands on experiances
Linguistic – discussions, debates
Logical – problem solving, numbers, calculations, logic
Interpersonal – group work/group study (cooperative learning)
Intrapersonal – give choices, evoke personal feelings
Musical – learn things to a beat or through song
Visual/Spatial – use visual organisers and visual aids and colour to display information
Naturalistic – study outside
