Multiple Intelligences Test Results

Yes. I believe that my results are pretty accurate. I know that I am a very musical person and it doesn't surprise me that is the highest on my results. I also feel that I am very good at paper and pencil tests, which is why this category was the second highest. I have found that when I put things to music or listen to music while I am studying, I do better on tests. It is weird because there have been many times that I have thought to myself: OH I remember studying this when I was listening to this song, what did the notecard/paper say? I have also noticed that I remember things better if I write them down. This is why I like to make notecards. This way I get to write what I need to remember and then review it over and over again until I think I have it down.
I am not sure if I would use this in my future classes. I think that it is great to know what your results are and how you learn best, but the problem is that not every student is going to get to learn in their preferred way. As a teacher, I can't teach using a musical strategy every lecture. I have to do pencil and paper tests occasionally, there is no getting around it. Students can take the test on their own time, but I don't think I will be taking up class time for students to complete the test and analyze their results.
