My top three multiple intelligences were: linguistic, musical, and intrapersonal. I felt that these intelligences fit well with how I learn and what I enjoy doing. If everyone who takes the test feels that their intelligences fit them appropriately, then this could be a great tool for educators when forming lesson plans.
Multiple intelligences is an interesting concept because it is based on the idea that we are all individuals- and we all learn differently. And it seems this theory can be supported by the data taken from our class. Some think more logically while some think more visually, etc., and no one "scored" the same as anyone else. As long as the data is correct, it can be seen that everyone has different strengths (and weaknesses).
With this in mind, I think it is important for teachers to consider teaching in different ways. This way, educators can appeal to everyone's strengths- helping their students understand the material better. Because everyone can learn through each of these intelligences, there is no need to worry about only teaching to one intelligence- all can (and should) be used in the classroom.
