I did the multiple intelligence test today and was elated to see that my strengths were musical and interpersonal categories (I think I knew this about me). Actually, my scores ranged tightly between 33 and 38 across all the categories (Logical-Mathematical, Musical, Bodily-Kinesthetic, Spatial-Visual, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal) with the exception of Linguistics where I scored a 30.
As with all self-scored assessments, I believe that the outcomes are partially based on how I would LIKE to view myself, though I think that most people would very much agree with my scoring in relation to what I think I gravitate towards. Overall, I agree with the strengths in the test based on how I view my own learning preferences. As a side note, I notice that the assessment identifies the outcomes as "Intelligence Strengths" which might give the user the impression that their Intelligence, or Intelligence Quotient might be somehow related...nice!
Okay, it's not really related to my IQ. Based on this learning style assessment, teaching techniques and technologies that incorporate action, sound, touch, and individual attention to help solidify my learning. It's all about the kinesthetic learning for me. Love a little background music! Here's my interpretation of this assignment: Find out how you tick first so that you can help others tock...\
You are exactly right, there is much more to it than just the scores.
