Some of the authors of the following checklists / inventories / surveys state rather strongly, some more so than others, that their file measures multiple intelligences.  Beware of such incorrect counsel.  At their very best, these files are snapshots in time of an individual's perceived MI preferences.  That is, each of the below items simply suggest possible cerebral capabilities / cognitive capacities within one of Gardner's suggested intelligences.  It is an extremely difficult task ... perhaps impossible ... to come up with a valid and reliable way of measuring our numerous intelligences.

  1. A Multiple Intelligences test 

    "The Multiple Intelligence theory suggests that no one set of teaching strategies will work best for all students at all times.  All children have different proclivities in the seven intelligences, so any particular strategy is likely to be successful with several students, and yet, not for others.  Because of these individual differences among students, teachers are best advised to use a broad range of teaching strategies with their students.  As long as instructors shift their intelligence emphasis from presentation to presentation, there will always be a time during the period or day when a student has his or her own highly developed intelligence (s) actively involved in learning.  This quiz will tell you where you stand and what to do about it. 

    Read each statement in the above link.  If it expresses some characteristic of yours and sounds true for the most part, jot down a "T."  If it doesn't, mark an "F."  If the statement is sometimes true, sometimes false, leave it blank." (Source: Homepage of link)

    "This form (click on link) can help you determine which intelligences are strongest for you. If you're a teacher or tutor, you can also use it to find out which intelligences your learner uses most often. Many thanks to Dr. Terry Armstrong for graciously allowing us to use his questionnaire." (Source: Homepage of link)

  15. Service Canada: Multiple Intelligence Quiz 

    "Research shows that people have eight (8) different types of intelligence, usually with strength in three or four.  Use this quiz (click on the immediate above link) to find out about your unique style of thinking and understanding.  Contains 60 questions. Approximate completion time: 10 minutes" (Source: homepage of Service Canada)

  16. Testing yourself: How are you smart?  

     "(excerpted and adapted from " Accelerated Learning for the 21st Century" by Colin Rose and Malcolm J. Nicholl).  It's not how smart you are that matters, what really counts is how you are smart.  That’s the message from noted education professor Howard Earl Gardner of Harvard University.  The practical implementation of Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI) forms a significant part of our accelerated learning philosophy.  Which of the intelligences do you favor?  What are your strengths? 

    The following checklist (click on the immediate above link) is designed to help you develop a fuller appreciation of the intelligences you enjoy.  Check each of the following eighty (80) statement which applies to you and add the totals.     Compare the totals from all eight (8) intelligences and you will readily see your greatest strengths and weaknesses.  The higher your score, the more you [may] favor that particular intelligence.  By answering these questions you will be able to gauge which forms of intelligence are your strongest and weakest.  This will enable you to focus on making sure you make the most of your existing abilities and -- if you so desire -- see if you can develop some of the others.  Let's emphasize that most of us have a mixed portfolio of intelligences and that there is no purpose in trying to simply label someone as a ‘logical-mathematical’ type or a ‘bodily-kinaesthetic’ type."  (Source: Homepage of Accelerated Learning Network)
