Multiple Intelligences


Who am I? How do I think? How do I see the world? How do I learn? These are all great questions, ones that apparently can be answered from the results of a 50 question quiz.

According to the quiz I just took...

http://www.literacynet.org/mi/assessment/findyourstrengths.html (here is the website, so you can take this quiz too!)

...(which is pretty accurate by the way) I think and learn the best when I connect whatever I am doing to Music, Logic, and Language.

My top score was in Music. 4.14 out of 5.

Looking back, this makes a lot of sense. Whenever I am doing homework or need a moment to think, I always put my radio on or listen to iTunes. Music is a huge part of my life. When I would study I would always listen to one song on repeat, then while taking the test, the song would be in my head and so would the answers. Cool, right?!

The next learning technique I scored high on was Logic (3.86). I love knowing how things work. In fact I need to know how things work in order for me to function. If I have a question, I can't hold it in, I have to ask. Critical thinking, mathematical concepts, puzzles; these are what my life is based on. Everything has to be in order and everything has to be explained.

My last learning technique with a high score was Language (3.71). Language is life. It is how you communicate your feelings. There is no way that I could live my life without reading. Without learning new words, new meanings. I would go insane! I love to read aloud, change my voice or accent for every new character introduced. It helps me understand them better, to feel what they feel.

I understand now how accurate this quiz was in telling me how I learn. Making me realize how I can better my studying techniques. You should try it too.
