Multiple intelligences is a good way to find out the way a student learns best. The assessment is very simple and takes about 5-10 minutes. A teacher can easily give her students the assessment at the beginning of the school year and then use those scores to be able to teach the students in the way that they learn best. Also, multiple intelligences allow students to see that they are smart in at least one area, and that everyone struggles with something.
What I found interesting is that today I took the multiple intelligence test for the second time and my scores had changed. When I first took the test last year, I scored my highest in linguistic and my next highest was intrapersonal. Today, my linguistic was still the highest; however, my second highest had changed to interpersonal with musical and intrapersonal at a tie and not to far back. I still scored fairly low in spatial, nature, and logic/math. Maybe my low spatial score is why I am clumsy. ;)
