Style 1: Linguistic – the ability to use language to describe events, to build trust and rapport, to develop logical arguments and use rhetoric, or to be expressive and metaphoric.Style 2: Logical/mathematical – the ability to use numbers to compute and describe, to use mathematical concepts to make conjectures, to apply mathematics in personal daily life, to apply mathematics to data and construct arguments, to be sensitive to the patterns, symmetry, logic, and aesthetics of mathematics, and to solve problems in design and modeling.Style 3: Spatial – the ability to perceive and represent the visual-spatial world accurately, to arrange color, line, shape, form, and space to meet the needs of others, to interpret and graphically represent visual or spatial ideas, to transform visual or spatial ideas into imaginative and expressive creations.Style 4: Bodily-Kinesthetic – the ability to use the body and tools to take effective action, to construct or repair, to build rapport, to console, to persuade, or to support others; to plan strategically or to critique the actions of the body, to appreciate the aesthetics of the body and to use those values to create new forms of expression.Style 5: Musical – the ability to understand and develop musical technique, to respond emotionally to music and to use music to meet the needs of others, to interpret musical forms and ideas, and to create imaginative and expressive performances and compositions.Style 6: Interpersonal – the ability to organize people and to communicate clearly what needs to be done, to use empathy to help others and solve problems, to discriminate and interpret among different kinds of interpersonal clues, and to influence and inspire others to work toward a common goal.Style 7: Intrapersonal – the ability to assess one’s own strengths, weaknesses, talents, and interests and to use them to set goals, to understand oneself and to be of service to others, to form and develop concepts and theories based on examination of oneself, and to reflect on one’s inner moods, intuitions, and temperament in order to use them to create or express a personal view.Style 8: Naturalist – the ability to recognize and classify plants, minerals, and animals, including rocks, grass, and all variety of flora and fauna, and to recognize patterns and cultural artifacts.
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.
