Self: You have a very good sense of self. You like to spend time by yourself and think things over. You will often take in information from another person, mull it over by yourself, and come back to that person later to discuss it. You like working on projects on your own. You often prefer to learn by trial and error. Effective techniques to enhance your learning include keeping a journal and giving yourself time to reflect on new ideas and information. More ideas:

* Go on "guided imagery" tours.

* Set aside time to reflect on new ideas and information.

* Encourage journal writing.

* Work on the computer.

* Practice breathing for relaxation.

* Use brainstorming methods before reading.

* Listen to and read "how to" tapes and books.

* Read cookbooks.

Language
3.43


Language: You enjoy enjoy saying, hearing, and seeing words. You like telling stories. You are motivated by books, records, dramas, opportunities for writing. Effective techniques of enhancing your learning using your language intelligence include reading aloud, especially plays and poetry. Another idea is to write down reflections on what you've read. You may also enjoy exploring and developing your love of words, i.e., meanings of words, origin of words and idioms, names. Use different kinds of dictionaries. Other ideas:

* Keep a journal

* Use a tape recorder to tape stories and write them down

* Read together, i.e., choral reading

* Read a section, then explain what you've read

* Read a piece with different emotional tones or viewpoints — one angry, one happy, etc.

* Trade tall tales, attend story-telling events and workshops

* Research your name

Body
3.43


Body Movement: You like to move, dance, wiggle, walk, and swim. You are likely good at sports, and you have good fine motor skills. You may enjoy taking things apart and putting them back together. Incorporating body movement into your learning will help you process and retain information better. Here are some ideas.

* Trace letters and words on each other's back.

* Use magnetic letters, letter blocks, or letters on index cards to spell words.

* Take a walk while discussing a story or gathering ideas for a story.

* Make pipe cleaner letters. Form letters out of bread dough. After you shape your letters, bake them and eat them!

* Use your whole arm (extend without bending your elbow) to write letters and words in the air.

* Change the place where you write and use different kinds of tools to write, ie., typewriter, computer, blackboard, or large pieces of paper.

* Write on a mirror with lipstick or soap.

* Take a walk and read all the words you find during the walk.

* Handle a Koosh ball or a worry stone during a study session.

* Take a break and do a cross-lateral walk.

The scores for your other five intelligences:
Nature Social Musical Spatial Math
3.43 3.43 2.29 2.14 1.57

Just because these five are not in your top three doesn’t mean you’re not strong in them. If your average score for any intelligence is above three, you’re probably using that intelligence quite often to help you learn. Take a look at the Practice section to see how to engage all your intelligences.

Musical- 5
Logic/Math- 4
Self- 3
Spatial- 2.86
Language- 2.57
Nature- 2.14
Social- 2
Body movement- 1.57

Well, at least social isn't quite my lowest... but I feel like I could get into more body movement a lot more easily than I could get into being more social.

My old results:
4.29 Logic/math
3.86 Musical
3.43 Body Movement

All in all fairly accurate I think.


Language - 3.29 self - 3 social - 3 Nature - 2.71 Spatial - 2

My New Results:
Math/logic - 4.86 (+.57)
Self - 4.14 (+1.14)
Body movement - 3.43 (even)

Musical - 3 (-.86)
Language - 2.86 (-.57)
Nature - 2.86 (+.15)
Social - 2.71 (-.29)
Spatial - 1.57 (-.43)


Interesting. I have been noticing especially lately how math/logic minded I am, which explains the increase there. I mean the first thing I thought when I got the results is how do they compare to my old results :p.

Also Self sounds just like me, I'm not sure why it was so low the first time. I doubt myself, so that might have had to do with it, tried to be more objective. That's why my music is so low, as much as I love it I can't learn it for the life of me :p Social and language go down as I talk less, makes sense.
 
musical: 4.43
logic/math: 4
self: 4


I'm glad that these traits/intelligence are recognized but like others have stated, the results are probably biased and measuring the degree would be difficult.
