  1. Multiple Intelligences How are you smart?

  2. Multiple Intelligences In 1983, a psychologist by the name of Howard Gardiner wrote a book called Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences.  Gardiner believes that each person has many different types of intelligence, and that some are stronger than others.  HOW ARE YOU SMART?! 

  3. Verbal Linguistic • Books are very important to me. • I enjoy word games like Scrabble. • I am good at remembering, talking and interacting. • Tongue twisters, rhymes and jokes are things I enjoy. • I can often hear the words in my head before I speak or write them down. • When I am out, I usually notice what signs on the road or at the mall say.

  4. Logical Mathematical • I enjoy math and/or computers. • If something breaks and won't work, I look at the pieces and try to figure out how it works. • I enjoy solving brainteasers and other types of problems. • In my head, I easily see how numbers fit together or come apart (12 = 10 + 2, 6 + 6, etc.) • I love playing chess, checkers or Monopoly. • My mind searches for patterns and logical sequences in things.

  5. Visual-Spatial • I enjoy jigsaw puzzles, mazes, and other visual puzzles. • I like to draw or doodle. • I like movies and photographs. • I am sensitive to colour. • I prefer to look at reading material with lots of pictures, maps and charts. • I rarely or never get lost.

  6. Bodily Kinaesthetic • I play at least one sport or physical activity on a regular basis. • I like working with my hands to complete a project. • I often talk with my hands when explaining things to people. • I need to touch things in order to learn about them. • I find it difficult to sit for long periods of time. • My best ideas come to me when I am moving around.

  7. Musical-Rhythmic • I frequently listen to music. • I often make tapping sounds, hum or whistle while I am working. • Songs from the radio or TV often run through my head. • If I hear a song once or twice, I can sing it back without many mistakes. • I can tell when a musical note is “off key”. • I play a musical instrument.

  8. Interpersonal • I prefer group sports like baseball or basketball. • I have at least 3 close friends. • I feel comfortable in a crowd of people. • I would rather spend time with friends than stay home alone. • People often come to me for advice. • When I have a problem, I seek out others for help.

  9. IntRA-personal • I regularly spend time alone thinking. • I have a special hobby or interest that I keep pretty much to myself. • I keep a personal diary or journal, even when I’m not at school. • I understand my own strengths and weaknesses. • I like learning more about myself. • I like to set goals for my future.

  10. Naturalist • I like being around animals. • Exploring an overgrown field interests me. • I can easily recognize various types of plants and animals. • Learning about how people treat the earth is important to me. • I can hear animal and bird sounds clearly. • I have (or would like to have) a garden.
