IT Home Learning : Learning profile - Multiple Intelligence test

For the first task of LA IT home learning, we were required to take a questionnaire to find out our learning profile which is on multiple intelligence. Multiple intelligence refers to the several independent forms of human intelligence that exist (taken from http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary_1861631837/multiple_intelligences.html), consisting of :-

• linguistic (word smart) 11
• logical (number smart) 19
• interpersonal (people smart) 13
• intrapersonal (myself smart) 11
• musical (music smart) 15
• visual/spatial (picture smart) 14
• naturalistic (nature smart) 13
• kinesthetic (body smart) 19

(The numbers in red refers to my scores over 25 in the various aspects.)

As can be seen, logical and kinesthetic are the best, followed by musical, then visual, interpersonal and naturalistic, with linguistic and intrapersonal being the lowest. The test is mostly accurate for me. While I am inclined towards maths and sports, I find it difficult to express myself most of the time, especially in English.

Linguistic and logical intelligence are definitely essential for schoolwork, and visual intelligence is helpful in a more efficient learning. Interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligence would help in knowing oneself's abilities and limits to a larger extent and also work better in a team. In the meantime, we should not neglect our naturalistic, musical and kinesthetic intelligence.
