Reflection #27

Take the Multiple Intelligence Inventories.  Reflect on your results

 Sometimes I take the multiple intelligence tests, and the answers shows nothing related to me, but this time it was different.  I took the test then I calculated the results, and it was somewhat similar to my personality because I was high on pretty much everything except naturalist that came up very low, but everything else was pretty much nice.  Linguistic was a score of 16which was not bad and so did bodily kinesthetic. I was appalled about the linguistic because I could not believe how high the result was, but I have to accept it the way it is.  I was not surprised at all for the bodily kinesthetic result because I love sports, and anything that has exercising and jumping.  To me that was outstanding because normally the test shows very little of my characteristics, and for once the results were not as shocking as usual.  The results between Interpersonal/Intrapersonal were close, but interpersonal was two points higher. I believe in communication, but I keep it at a level where everyone is happy in the process because it is good to interact, just don't let it get out of hand to the point where people are getting hurt because of stupid gossip. Interacting is good in an informative way and when helping someone, but protect the person as if his/her life was depending on it.  Life is to be enjoyed, but not to be unhappy. I was looking forward to the logic part of the test, and I was happy with the result, but surprised also. I thought it would be higher, but music was all right because I don't even know how top read a music sheet and yet my results came sky rocketing like that; I was amazed.  Some of the test result, I was shocked to see how high and low they were at the same time, but my conclusion is I can't be perfect in everything that I do.  I can do my best, but perfection does not exist.  There are students who might take the same test and score higher points because they are probably more interested in something else.  Others might take the same score and score more points in another part than me.  I realize that it is not a matter of right or wrong with those tests, but how you answer it. Some of the results might come out to be exactly like you and some may not, but the main thing is you have an idea of where you stand, and how you can improve in some skills.
