Multiple intelligences

Hi! Thank you so much for visiting my blog.

During classes from March 12^th  and March 14^th, we learned about the multiple intelligences and we had an interesting test.

The theory about multiple intelligences was developed by Dr. Howard Gardner in 1983 and it focuses on how students learn and their learning styles. It also states that all people learn in different ways, for example, by listening or using the body, etc.

According to the multiple intelligence theory, there are 9 intelligences which are verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, visual-spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical-rhythmic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalistic and existential.

 verbal-linguistic is about being good with words, language and communication. Logical mathematics is about using numbers, reasoning, and logic. Visual-spacial is when someone is good at visualizing things, understanding locations. Musical rhythm is having the ability to understand pitches, tones, music and rhythms. Bodily-kinesthetic is about using the body and expressing oneself through movement. Interpersonal intelligence is about knowing how to interact with other people. The intrapersonal is about understanding yourself and your own thoughts and feelings. Naturalist intelligence is about appreciating nature (animals and plants) and existential intelligence is analyzing questions about human existence.

On March 14^th we did a multiple intelligence test and basically, we had to rate the answer with 0, 1 or 2 then we had to calculate the results, for example, if we had one answer of 0 to 4 we had to color a portion of the intelligence wheel and if we had a result from 5 to 7 we had to color until a part that had dots and if had from 8 to 10 we had to color the whole portion. At the end we had to have the intelligence wheel based on our answers; my results are the following:

 

Although I didn’t agree with my results, I think tests like this are good to keep learning about our intelligences.
