We took the test during Term 3, 14th August 2009. I found that I am strongest in the above list, and was surprised with the results. I have developed my intelligences, learning new facts everyday. Depending on the time, of your life, that you take the test, there will always be new developed intelligences. During life, your multiple intelligences may change, with new interests.
"Intelligences work together to solve problems"The purpose of school should be to develop all of the various types of intelligences to help people find vocations that are appropriate to their intelligences.
