Multiple+Intelligences

Are you?
 * Kinesthetic - Body Smart - learn through moving - like to dance, enjoy sports, may be good especially good at swimming or gymnastics
 * Linguistic - Word Smart - learn through reading, writing and talking about things
 * Logical - Number Smart - learn through data, problem solving, and number activities
 * Interpersonal - People Smart - learn from interacting with others - like team games - comfortable sharing
 * Intrapersonal - Self Smart - learn through personal reflection - you understand your strengths and weaknesses - you may keep a diary/journal
 * Musical - Music Smart - learn through sound - particularly music - enjoy and understand the patterns and tone qualities of music
 * Visual/Spatial - Picture Smart - learn through seeing - enjoy visual art - comfortable with picture activities like map reading, navigating mazes and graphs
 * Naturalistic - Nature Smart - learn through exploring plants and animals

Remember - each of us have abilities across the spectrum - some may be more highly developed - perhaps because our preferences were nurtured. If you aren't sure of your preferences - take an MI inventory - the ones listed below were designed for students but will certainly work for adults.
 * Multiple Intelligences Inventory for Elementary Students || http://www.bgfl.org/bgfl/custom/resources_ftp/client_ftp/ks1/ict/multiple_int/index.htm ||
 * Multiple Intelligences Inventory for Secondary Students || http://www.bgfl.org/bgfl/custom/resources_ftp/client_ftp/ks3/ict/multiple_int/index.htm ||

Once you determine your preferences consider how your teaching may be affected. If you don't score high on Kinesthetic, how will you reach the students who learn primarily through moving?
