Multiple Intelligence - Birmingham Grid for Learning
I participated in the online quiz and the above grid shows my results. According to the diagram, I am a kinaesthetic learner first, followed by a linguistic learner, then interpersonal and intrapersonal.
The definitions of the types of 'smarts' as from the website is as below:
Kinaesthetic - I enjoy sports and am good at swimming, athletics, gymnastics and other sports.
(This is true of me.)
Linguistic - I enjoy reading, writing and talking about things. (This is also true.)
Interpersonal - I like to mix with other people and belong to lots of clubs. I like team games and am good at sharing. (This is true however I do not belong to a lot of clubs.)
Intrapersonal - I know about myself and my strengths and weaknesses. I probably keep a diary. (This is half true as I do not keep a diary.)
Personally, I find that this might not be the best way of finding out a person's special intelligence as our answers picked could be conformed by what we already know about ourselves. I find that I am a rather visual / spatial person even though the scores on this test show me a low. I use a lot of body movements when talking and explaining, enjoy visual displays, colours, mind maps slides etc.
However, the quiz picked me as "Body Smart" which is my best way of learning. I learn best by doing and working my way through things. I am a kinaesthetic learner and knowing that has helped me achieve many of my life goals.
