10th Grade - Multiple Intelligences Assessment
Throughout the month of January, counselors provided a lesson for all 10th grade students about the Multiple Intelligences assessment on californiacolleges.edu. The Multiple Intelligences assessment is a questionnaire that provides a more rounded view of students by looking at the following types of intelligence: bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, naturalist, spatial and existential. Educators and counselors who use Intelligences can spend more time helping students and less time trying to figure out a student’s natural gifts. Ask your students what their results were and what they learned about themselves by taking the assessment!
