  • Topic 3

    STEP 3: Multiple Intelligences 'Quiz'

    (It's not how smart you are, it is HOW you are smart!)

    Howard Gardener, a psychologist, and professor of neuroscience from Harvard University developed a quiz which helps people understand more about themselves.

    His theory is that we all possess at least     9 intelligences but some are stronger than others. These intelligences are how we best like to learn. He has also linked them to potential careers that might be suitable for you to aspire to someday.
    • Take the Multiple Intelligence Quiz and SAVE and DOWNLOAD your results onto your desk-top or a folder. Be sure to explore the web site to find out more about yourself and the meanings of these results.

    • Please take the following quiz on Multiple Intelligences.
