While you have probably taken some sort of personality or intelligence test in the past, I would like you to specifically take one regarding multiple intelligences for this discussion board assignment. Visit the following site to take a version of a multiple intelligence test:
http://www.businessballs.com/howardgardnermultipleintelligences.htm#multiple%20intelligences%20tests (Links to an external site.)
About halfway down the page, there is a section called “Tests.” Click on any of the options for the free multiple intelligences test (I prefer the first one that opens as a self-calculating version in Exce; if you choose this version, your score will be automatically generated and the graph at the bottom will show you where you fall in each category with descriptions of each category presented on a second tab in the document).
Once you have your results, please respond to the following questions:
- What category(ies) of multiple intelligence do you identify with and do you agree with your results?
- How do you think you learn best?
- Do you feel as though there is only one category that individuals can fall into or that there is a high probability of overlap? Why or why not?
- How do these results fit with your future career plans (see the “typical roles” section of the descriptions)?
Think of a class that you are taking or have taken (middle school, high school, college) that you think allows you to use various types of intelligence.How was this class facilitated?How did this play a role in the decisions you made about education/career choices?
