Intelligence Quotient is a measure of your ability to solve problems. Intelligence Quotient
measure intellectual abilities and potentials and reflect a wide range of cognitive skills, such
as reasoning and logic. It basically is a test of your intelligence.
Multiple Intelligences is a theory of multiple intelligences by Howard Gardner. Gardner’s
theory in essence is that every person has about eight types of intelligence. Basically, he
believed that the ability to learn and solve problems can be done multiple different ways. That
each person has developed other intelligences that leads to different kinds of cleverness.
Emotional Intelligences is one’s ability to identify and manage your own emotions as well
as the emotions of others. It is the ability to perceive, control, and evaluate emotions. Some
people believe that emotional intelligence can be learned and strengthened, and others believe
it is a characteristic that you are born with.
With the multiple intelligence’s test, it is meant to help find my strengths. My top three
intelligences were Musical, Body Movement, and Self. Out of a high score of 5.0 all three of
those scored at 3.29 exactly. I probably would not have guessed that Musical would be one of
my top intelligences, but I suppose I am not that surprised. I have always loved music and have
been able to remember song lyrics and tunes so much better than most other things. It is quite
frustrating actually. I can remember song lyrics from songs from decades ago, even after not
having heard it for forever. But I will forget what someone told me a day ago. I do not really
know how I feel about it being a top intelligence though. I do not really know what that is
