MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE
The theory of multiple intelligences is a concept in which intelligence is broken down into eight different components. Even though we possess each type of intelligence, some may be stronger while others may be weaker. It is important to learn which intelligences are your strengths so that you can use them to excel.When taking the ‘multiple intelligence’ quiz today, it was confirmed to me that I am a Visual/Spatial learner. For as long as I can remember I have always been an extremely visual person. I love the arts and I am usually very good at visual activities and puzzles. When making study notes I always colour code everything and I tend to memorize where the notes are on the page. If I am trying to remember something during the test, I visualize where it was and what it looked like on the actual page rather then just remembering the fact. Since I am a Visual/Spatial learner, I should draw pictures/diagrams when taking notes. It would also be advantageous for me to contribute artistically when working on a group project.
My second strongest types of intelligences were Intra-personal and Mathematical/Logistic. I also greatly agree with these results because I often prefer to work alone and I am fairly logical. I am Intra-personal because I am extremely goal-oriented and I sometimes find it difficult to work in a group setting. When working with a group I usually like taking charge and I like doing the majority of the work. I hope to change this so that I can be more of a team player. I am also a Mathematical/Logistic learner because I enjoy and excel in math and I work best with step by step instructions.
I was not surprised to find out that my weakest intelligence was Bodily/Physical. I have never been good at physical activities like sports or dance and I learn better by watching then actually being hands on. Though this is not that useful to me now, I hope to strengthen this type of intelligence for the future by participating in more physical activities.
By completing the ‘multiple intelligence’ quiz, I was able to further understand the way that I learn. I hope I can now use this information to strengthen my learning style and have a more well-rounded range of intelligence.
Here is what my results looked like:
