Reflect on what has stood out most in taking the various inventories and create a list of 8-10 characteristics that you can build 30 second stories around. Edutopia's Multiple Intelligences Quiz maps to Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences and is a fun way to learn about how some of our tastes and interests can influence how we take in information. However, its results are not intended as a way to label people. Labeling creates limits, and when it comes to learning, we want to avoid restricting how we define student potential. People have many different intelligences, and strength in one area does not predict weakness in another.
