Multiple Intelligences

In class today, we found out what our multiple intelligence strength was.  This was done by using a survey in which we determined if statements applied to us or not.  Some of us agreed with what we found out, while others did not.  However, any way that you look at the results, it indicates which mode of learning works best for you, or your learning style.  It is not the only mode of learning, as you learn from all of the different modes.  It is the one that works best for you, which may change over time.  In fact, you may have more than one!

Here is a website that will help you to better understand what you multiple intelligence says about you and what types of activities help you to learn best.  Click on the link and then click on you intelligence style.  Check it out!
