Multiple Intelligences survey Howard Gardner, in his book, Intelligence Reframed: Multiple Intelligences for the 21 st Century (New York: Basic Books, 1999) suggests that human intellige nce is not adequately captured by traditional I.Q. tests. Instead, Gardner suggests that there are at least eight different types of intelligence, including naturalist, visual / spatial, logical / mathematical, intrapersonal, interpersonal, bodily / kines thetic, musical / rhythmic and verbal / linguistic intelligences. A very basic test of multiple intelligences follows. Check eac h statement that applies to you , and then to count up the total number of statements checked in each box. The box with the most statements checked is likely to be a stronger intelligence for you. HOW ARE YOU INTELLIGENT?
