Multiple Intelligences

GEN105 Week 8 Checkpoint



CheckPoint: Multiple Intelligences

Due Date: Day 3 [Individual] forum

Conduct research online regarding the strongest of your multiple intelligences. Find three Web sites which accurately describe that intelligence. If you identified more than one dominant intelligence, choose only one for your research. Note that your classmates will be reviewing your responses in Discussion Question 2, so make sure that your answers are complete.

Post the following information:

o Links to the three Web sites that describe the intelligence

o A 50-word description, written by you, of your strongest intelligence

o A 50-word summary describing how each site either reinforced or contradicted something about yourself



I scored the same in two areas; I am picking Visual/Spatial since it best suits me in my opinion.  I learn better and easier when I can SEE the information.  I tell people often, “If I don’t write it down I will not remember, but if I do write it down then I don’t need the note”.  I need to mentally translate words into pictures before I can write it down, which includes words and numbers.   I do very well with maps and puzzles. 
The websites I visited do reinforce how I know I learn best.  This IS me.  Wikipedia hinted at the correlation between spatial and mathematical abilities.  My Logical/Mathematical intelligence score was high but not the highest.  I would have to agree, since in my case it is true.  Math is by far my easiest subject, and algebra was the subject I enjoyed the most in school.
