Multiple Intelligence Test 

The theory of multiple intelligences was developed in 1983 by Dr. Howard Gardner, who says there are eight different intelligences.  These intelligences are:

• Linguistic intelligence ("word smart"):

• Logical-mathematical intelligence ("number/reasoning smart")

• Spatial intelligence ("picture smart")

• Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence ("body smart")

• Musical intelligence ("music smart")

• Interpersonal intelligence ("people smart")

• Intrapersonal intelligence ("self smart")

• Naturalist intelligence ("nature smart")

Take the test and see what category you are in.
