Those are the eight different multiple intelligences and I feel the same way; no one learns the same and should not be classified in the same category. When I took the survey, I was actually very surprised with some of my results. I thought it would have come out very different and also was surprised with which questions fell into the different sections. The two that I scored the highest in were Style 2: Logical/mathematical and Style 4: Bodily-Kinesthetic. I was very surprised with two because I am not very good with math. I have never actually taken a test to see which style I would fall into but I always assumed I was more Style 4: Bodily-Kinesthetic and Style 7: Intrapersonal. The two that I scored the lowest in were Style 5: Musical and Style 8: Naturalist which I knew I would score the lowest in those two. It was very interesting taking this survey, not to just see where you would fall into what style what to also see what kind of questions were asked to determine it.
