Multiple Intelligences Interactive Assessment

Literacyworks provides a multiple intelligences inventory for high school students and adults. The site includes an introduction, an interactive assessment with results, and ideas for practicing and improving all of your “intelligences”.

An introduction explains how to use the materials on the site. The assessment is an interactive form of 56 statements in which you rate how accurately each statement describes you. The results give your suggestions on how to best use your top three intelligences to enhance your learning.

A morphing icon takes you to a summary of the eight intelligences and how to engage them. There is also a practice section with ideas for building all of your “intelligence” muscles. And there are resources for additional reading.
