Intellegences Test

I enjoyed taking the IQ test, first of all I thought it was very accurate, and I scored above average, so that made me feel good. I think if I would have scored lower I would have thought that the test was inaccurate. I thought the questions were really easy and not tricky. I like the test I thought it was a great experience, I have always wanted to know my IQ and it has boosted my self esteem.
I enjoyed the Multiple Intelligences test also. I thought that the results were right on the money. My highest intelligence is Logical and I totally agree with that. I have always been good at math so that makes sense. My next highest is Interpersonal which I agree with in the fact that I always want to be with people and I feel that I can read people pretty good. Next highest is a tie between Intrapersonal and Kinaesthetic. I agree with this because I feel like I know myself pretty well but my self esteem can be low at times and I am body smart because I like to learn with my hands and moving around. Then I am Visual, I thought this one might be higher but then again I would rather learn something by doing it rather than looking at it. Then I am Naturalistic, this one I thought would be higher as well, but then just because I like to be outside does not mean I am nature smart. Then I am Linguistic, and I agree where this one is at because I am not good with words. First of all I can't spell and I just use simple words to describe things, my vocabulary is very small. Last is Musical and I totally agree with this because I don't do good with music. I thought that the test could have been set up a little better and I didn't like the answer options. I would rather have agree, strongly agree, disagree and so forth.
I don't think that I would use the IQ test in my class because I would not want my students to compare scores and have one student score really low and then just give up because of that score. I would defiantly give the Multiple Intelligence test, because that would help me as the teacher, be able to teach my students the way they learn best.
