Your Learning Style: Using Multiple Intelligences

Instructions: Multiple-intelligence theory suggests that there are several different ways of
learning about things in a topsy-turvy world; hence there are multiple “intelligences,” of
which five are interpersonal (learn via interactions with others), intrapersonal (own inner
states), logical–mathematical (rationality and logic), verbal–linguistic (words and
language), and musical (sounds, tonal patterns, and rhythms). Most people prefer one or
two of the intelligences as a way of learning, yet each person has the potential to develop
skills in each of the intelligences.

The following items will help you identify the forms of intelligence that you tend to use or
enjoy most, as well as the forms that you use less. Please check each item below as Mostly
False or Mostly True for you.

Educational institutions tend to stress the logical–mathematical and verbal–linguistic


forms of learning. How do your intelligences align with the changes taking place in the
world? Would you rather rely on using one intelligence in depth or develop multiple
intelligences? Any intelligence above for which you received a score of 3 is a major source
of learning for you, and a score of zero means you may not use it at all. How do your
intelligences fit your career plans and your aspirations for the type of leader you want to
be?
