Multiple Intelligence Test

As I am slightly inept when it comes to macbooks ( which is what I am blaming this on!) I could not work out how to insert the diagram of my results, so instead I will put the link to it below.

The Multiple Intelligence Test concluded that my predominant intelligences are equally: 


Kinaesthetic - Body Smart
You will enjoy sports and are good at swimming, athletics, gymanstics and other sports. This is sometimes called being Kinaesthetic smart.
Visual/Spatial - Picture Smart
You will be good at art and also good at other activities where you look at pictures like map reading, finding your way out of mazes and graphs. This is sometimes called being Visual/Spatial smart. 
Musical - Music Smart
You will enjoy music and can recognise sounds, and timbre, or the quality of a tone. This is sometimes called being Musical Smart.
Interpersonal - People Smart
You will like to mix with other people and you will belong to lots of clubs. You like team games and are good at sharing. This is sometimes called being Interpersonal smart. 




Understanding the main intelligences amongst your students will help you cater for their needs efficiently, through designing activities to best suit them. For examples I found a website with example lesson plans for several subjects, compliant with the eight intelligences.


EXAMPLE

MI Plan #4
Maria Aerts, Education 381
 
District Aim: Students will understand the general health of our society.
Goal: Students will be able to understand nutritional intake in order to promote healthy choices in the course of their lives.

Objectives:
1. Students will be able to effectively read nutrition labels on food products.
2. Students will explore their own nutritional intake and habits.
3. Students will formulate an advertisement to educate others concerning health and nutrition.
4. Students will compare the nutritional labels of different
5. Students will explore the different types of advertisement in order to sell a product.
PROCEDURES:

Logical/Mathematical:
After learning how to interpret the labels on food products, students will practice calculating percentage of fat, sodium, cholesterol, etc. in terms of daily intake.
Bodily/Kinesthetic:
Students will visit the local grocery store and compare/contrast the nutrition labels of the same food distributed by different companies (Oscar Meyer vs. Ballpark hot dogs). They will document which product they would select as a consumer.
Spatial/Visual:
Students will divide into small groups (interpersonal) and create a new product that may increase that health of consumers. Students must consider daily intake and nutritional health concern when developing the new product. They will use large poster board to create a billboard or commercial advertisement. They also have the option of presenting this portion of the assignment in the form of a video-recorded commercial advertisement.
Musical/Rhythmic:
The students will create a jingle for their new product. The jingle must incorporate health issues and nutrition.
Verbal/Linguistic:
Students will create a brief newspaper advertisement to sell the new product. Again, the product should attract people who are concerned about health and encourage others to become conscious of health.
Interpersonal:
Each group will present the new product to the rest of the class and gather input regarding if the class believes that the product would sell considering the nutritional information and the advertising methods.
Intrapersonal:
Students will keep a journal of their own nutritional intake and determine if it follows the average nutritional consumption.
