Multiple Intelligences Howard Gardner came up with the Multiple Intelligence theory in 1991. This theory states that all students learn in one of 7 ways. They are as follows:
Visual-Spatial - These students think in terms of physical space. They are very aware of their environments. They like to draw, do jigsaw puzzles, read maps, daydream. They can be taught through drawings, verbal and physical imagery. Tools include models, graphics, charts, photographs, drawings, 3-D modeling, video, videoconferencing, television, multimedia, and texts with pictures/charts/graphs. Bodily-kinesthetic - These students use the body effectively, like a dancer or a surgeon. They have a keen sense of body awareness. They like movement, making things, and touching. They communicate well through body language and enjoy being taught through physical activity, hands-on learning, acting out, and role playing. Tools include equipment and real objects. Musical - These students show sensitivity to rhythm and sound. They love music, but they are also sensitive to sounds in their environments. They may study better with music in the background. They can be taught by turning lessons into lyrics, speaking rhythmically, or tapping out time. Tools include musical instruments, music, radio, stereo, CD-ROM, and multimedia. Interpersonal - These students demonstrate understanding through interacting with others. These students learn through interaction. They have many friends, empathy for others, and street smarts. They can be taught through group activities, seminars, or dialogues. Tools include the telephone, audio conferencing, time and attention from the instructor, video conferencing, writing, computer conferencing, and E-mail. Intrapersonal - These students understand their own interests and goals. These learners tend to shy away from others. They're in tune with their inner feelings; they have wisdom, intuition and motivation, as well as a strong will, confidence and opinions. They can be taught through independent study and introspection. Tools include books, creative materials, diaries, privacy and time. They are the most independent of the learners. Linguistic - These students enjoy using words effectively. These learners have highly developed auditory skills and often think in words. They like reading, playing word games, and making up poetry or stories. They can be taught through reading alone, quietly, aloud, and with others. Tools include computers, games, multimedia, books, tape recorders, and lecture. Logical -Mathematical - These students enjoy reasoning, calculating. They think conceptually, abstractly and are able to see and explore patterns and relationships. They like to experiment, solve puzzles, and ask cosmic questions. They can be taught through logic games, investigations, and mysteries. They need to learn and form concepts before they can deal with details.

The results of the Multiple Intelligence quiz that I took are below. The results showed that I am 90% musical, 75% Interpersonal, and 75% Logical.
This is my concept map of how I perceive the results:
