Designed to create a multiple intelligences wheel based on Gardner’s eight multiple intelligences. This resource requires student participation through a Flash interface.

Information on the eight multiple intelligences is provided; the eight types are: Kinaesthetic - Body Smart; Logical - Number Smart; Intrapersonal - Myself Smart; Visual/Spatial - Picture Smart; Linguistic - Word Smart; Interpersonal - People Smart; Musical - Music Smart; Naturalistic - Nature Smart.

A series of 40 questions determines the ratio of intelligences within the person answering the questions. The results are placed on the multiple intelligences wheel with color coded levels designating which intelligence types are strongest.

This information can help identify learning styles in students providing the teacher with insight as to the best communication strategies.
