Intelligence Tests

My IQ test results were about what I was expecting. I usually test above average and I got a little above average on this. I don't feel like I am a genius but I feel that I am pretty smart so to me, the results seemed pretty accurate. But, I know that there are probably some really smart people from other countries that may have scored below average. I don't remember there being questions only pertaining to America but there may have been. It seemed like there were a lot of math questions too. I know that it is not the most accurate but I seemed to fit in as I normally would in nationwide tests.

My multiple intelligence results showed that my strengths from greatest to least is Interpersonal, Visual, Musical, Kinaesthetic, Interpersonal, Naturalistic, Logical, Linguistic. I got four above 15 and the rest weren't too far behind. This test seems more accurate than another multiple intelligence test showed. I really feel this is pretty accurate. My lowest was linguistic. I feel that I am a smart person I just have a hard time finding the right words or the right way to say something. The things I ranked higher I feel I learn best those ways. Like with other people, and music and pictures and moving. It seems accurate to me. I liked this test. It was very simple and seemed more accurate than other ones I have taken.

I think I would deffinitely use the multiple intelligence test with students. It would be a great way to learn how they learn best. It is easy and fast. It also would be beneficial. I dont know if I would use the IQ test though. I dont know what the purpose would be. I understand that it would be nice to see where the students are but you could do that with things that you are actually teaching instead of random questions.
