Your top three intelligences:

Intelligence Score (5.0 is Description

highest)

Spatial 4 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

with a wet finger. Visualize the
word as it disappears. See if you
can spell it afterwards.

Take a survey. Put the

information in a chart.

Write words vertically.

Cut out words from a magazine

and use them in a letter.

Visualize spelling words.

Use colorful newspapers like USA

Today.

Use crossword puzzles.

Musical 3.71 Musical: You like the rhythm and sound

of language. You like poems, songs, and
jingles. You enjoy humming or singing
along with music. You probably
remember things well when they are
associated with music or rhythm. Try to
incorporate sounds into your lessons,
such as using a familiar tune, song, or
rap beat to teach spelling rules, or to
remember words in a series for a test.
Here are some other ways to use your
musical intelligence:

Create a poem with an emphasis

on certain sounds for
pronunciation.

Clap out or walk out the sounds

of syllables.

Read together (choral reading) to
work on fluency and intonation.

Read a story with great emotion

— sad, then happy, then angry.
Talk about what changes — is it
only tone?

Work with words that sound like

what they mean (onomatopoeia).
For example: sizzle, cuckoo,
smash.

Read lyrics to music.

Use music as background while

reviewing and for helping to
remember new material.

Use rhymes to remember spelling

rules, i.e., "I before E except
after C."

Nature 3.14 Nature: You are sensitive to nature and

environment. You probably know the
names of rocks, flowers, birds, and trees.
You love to be outdoors. Here are
some ways to use your nature
intelligence in your learning:

Work in the garden.

Read about plants and/or

animals.

Study habits of fish or birds.

Read nature magazines.

Go hiking. Take photographs of

what you find on your hike. Write
a story describing the
photographs.

The scores for your other five intelligences:

Self Math Social Body

Language

2.86 2.86 2.57 2.29 1.86

Just because these five are not in your top three doesn’t mean you’re not
strong in them. If your average score for any intelligence is above three,
you’re 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.
