Multiple Intelligences
We all possess all eight intelligences (listed below) that function together in different ways, which are unique to each person. Each of the eight areas can be strengthened and developed with exposure to different activities and exercises. Strengths may be exhibited in different ways within each category. For example a person may not be able to read, but may still be able to tell a great story. (Both rely on linguistic intelligence.)

Below you will find resources to:

1. Take the test to see your areas of strength and development
2. Review data to compare and analyze your results
3. Define and develop each of the eight intelligences (Optional – Independent Study)

Take the Multiple Intelligences Test and find out your current strengths. Some areas will be highly developed, some modestly developed, and other areas may be underdeveloped.
