In my Ed Psychology class we have been talking lately about Multiple Intelligences, the idea that we have different strengths and weaknesses in different areas such as liguistics, music, logicomathematical, and spatial--rather than cut and dry smart versus dumb. We took a very basic quiz to get a general jist of where our own intelligences lie, and I scored highest in Musical, Verbal, and Logico-Mathematical, which makes sense to me as a music education major. I got to wondering about the other people I interact with, and wondering what makes them tick. Im going to put the quiz here (which says reproducible right on it so dont go yelling at me for copyright infringement(: ) Feel free to take this test, and I will message you back or reply right here if you wish as to which are your supposed intelligences. Im really just curious as to how varied people are and how accurate this thing actually is for people other than myself!!
