Spatial: You remember things visually,

including exact sizes and shapes of
objects. You like posters, charts, and
graphics. You like any kind of visual clues.
You enjoy drawing. Effective techniques of
enhancing your learning using your spatial
intelligence include creating and/or using
pictures, maps, diagrams, and graphs as
you learn things. Other suggestions:

Write a language experience

story and then illustrate it.

Color code words so each syllable

is a different color.

Write a word on the blackboard

Effective techniques of enhancing your
learning using your language intelligence
include reading aloud, especially plays and

reflections on what you've read. You may
also enjoy exploring and developing your
love of words, i.e., meanings of words,
origin of words and idioms, names. Use
different kinds of dictionaries. Other ideas:

Keep a journal

Use a tape recorder to tape

stories and write them down

to build reading and writing exercises into
your group activities, such as:

Reading a dialogue or a play with

other people

Doing team learning/investigating

projects

Setting up interview questions

and interviewing your family, and
writing down the interview

Writing notes to another instead

of talking.

The scores for your other five intelligences:

2.86

2.71

2.57

Just because these five are not in your top three doesnt mean youre not strong in them. If your average
score for any intelligence is above three, youre probably using that intelligence quite often to help you
learn. Take a look at the Practice section to see how to engage all your intelligences.

I am smart through my top three of intelligence strengths are spatial, language, and
social intelligences. I like to visualize what is being talked or taught if possible.
Having symbols that correlate help me learn. I also enjoy talking and
understanding what words mean through reading and writing. I enjoy reading it is
always fun to reading about different places right from home. Through
socialization I can learn from others and ask them questions if I do not understand
something. My other intelligences are interchangeable with my top three strengths.
Intrapersonal, logic/math, musical, body movement, and naturalist intelligences are
use at similar rates. My top three intelligences show my form of learning and
other tips I can use to continue using an intelligence.

The test showed me that I learn through my different intelligences.

Communicating, symbols, plans, and movement are some of the forms in which I
learn. Originally I thought I learned from symbols because when something is
being taught I associate it with something I can remember. Even though I do not
use all my intelligences equally there were some tips give so I can start using them
and expand my forms of learning. I also learned that using all the intelligences
even if they are not used in great amounts it is important to use to expand our
learning and teaching others.

After reading the test and looking at the tips given to me I can use them in my classes as a
student at a university. For me it is important to understand the information given to me
especially since I have multiple classes so I must use different techniques to learn. I like keeping
track of what needs to be done so I keep a planner and I also rewrite it on my journal depending

on the class I am in. Even though I want to continue learning it is important for me to be
physically active. On nice days or even after school I will take some homework that allows me to
enjoy nature and be physically fit while at the same time learning. Once I have my own
classroom I will used different techniques that are part of certain intelligences to make sure my
students are well rounded. I will allow student to talk, share, use symbols, read etc. Allowing
students to learn in their way along with different forms they will be learn and have different
perspectives.
