In college I studied Howard Gardener, and he teaches that there are 7 intelligences.
I give my middle school students a 60 question "quiz" at the start of each semester to have them identify the areas in which they are the strongest- then tell them they can use that area to determine how to study, what career path to choose, etc. It can also change over time. My results now are different than they were in college some 20 years ago.
The 7 intelligences are:
visual/spatial
bodily/kinesthetic
verbal/linguistic
mathematical/logical
musical
interpersonal
intrapersonal
I'm equal in many of the above. I'm strongest at visual/spatial and I am at zero on mathematical/logical. I can definitely see that...
Here are my results for this quiz:
Your scores were:
* Visual: 5
* Aural: 4
* Read/Write: 6
* Kinesthetic: 8
You have a multimodal (VARK) learning preference.
