Multiple Intelligences Test

Howard Gardner created the multiple intelligences test in 1975 based on the multiple intelligences that he categorised into eight different intelligences which learners abilities were shown. The test shows a learners best learning style. The multiple test theory has a website online where you can take the test The following is my results of the test, and you can see at the top the website to go to if you wish to take the test yourself:

This test says that I am mainly a musical learner (musical smart) and I am also a kinesthetic learner (body smart). I think that these results are very very accurate to my particular learning style. I am quite musical; I play three different instruments and keeping up with new and popular music is of quite high priority in my life. I love sports! I think that if it were possible to learn everything through active activities and sports I would be the new Einstein =)

The multiple intelligences test as an E-tool in an educational environment does present many benefits and could possible assist both learners and teachers towards success. It is an online tool and therefore the students will firstly being learning skills in navigating the Internet and experimenting with tools. The test is chiefly beneficial for students because it highlights their strengths and weaknesses and even acts as a set of information for them to be able to describe themselves as a learner; this test is something useful that they could 'carry' with them as learners and share with new teachers.

The test is very useful for teachers to have for all of their students as it does tell them exactly how each student best learns and also how they most likely will not learn at all. The multiple intellegince test results is something that a teacher could add to each students profile (which every teacher should have for each student).

I know that when I am a teacher I will try to get each student to complete the test so that I can look into each students profile and ensure that I am catering to all of their needs!
