Multiple Intelligence Survey Test

This document is a multiple intelligences survey that asks the respondent to rate their preferences and abilities across 8 categories of intelligence: naturalist, musical/rhythmic, logical/mathematical, visual/spatial, interpersonal, bodily/kinesthetic, verbal/linguistic, and intrapersonal. The respondent rates statements in each category on a scale of 0-1, then totals and multiplies their scores to plot them on a bar graph comparing their strengths across the 8 intelligences. The survey is designed to provide insight into an individual's multiple intelligences profile.
