Maybe, now that you have read some entries regarding this topic, you may be asking yourself which would be the intelligence that could fit you best. Well, we are not scientists but we can give you help to answer that question.
The concrete intelligence you may have, or more than one, are related directly to your behaviour, your tastes, the way you relate to other people and yourself, your abilities and lack of ability in some aspects, etc.
The first thing that we could do is to reflect and think about ourselves, but we know it is a hard task if you do not know from where we should start. Well, the easiest thing is to ask a few question of tests that we can find on the internet but being absolutely sincere and honest. Remember that the result would only help you and it does not matter which one of the intelligences are you best in. Maybe you could realize that your strengths are different to what you think at the moment.
If you want, we give you here some examples of tests you can do online in a few minutes which may give you a first idea of your intelligence. We hope it is useful and give you the answer you are looking for. You can access to these websites were the tests are in English:
- Assessment, find your strenghts:

But, why are we talking about this theory in this blog. We will be teachers and we must know how to teach our students. To do this, we must know which is the best way to do it and the multiple intelligences theory offers a good way to start. The teacher should pay attention at the students and discover what are they good at, how should they be taught, which are their abilities and how do they want to be taught.
There may be some students which prefer active methodology, others prefer interacting or group-working, but maybe other feel more comfortable working alone. It is really important to create a good atmosphere at class for them.
Some studies asked how common these intelligences are. After looking at some of them we found this graphic which represents their presence in the students of a school. We think that the result could reflect well the general society.
Finally, we want to tell you that you can find another entry of each of the members of this group in which you could find the conclusions we have found after taking part in those tests. There are our reflections about our learner experiences and our opinion about the education we received during that period.
