Personally i achieved highest results in Naturalistic, Visual/Spacial and Interpersonal. It is important to know every person does learn different ways. Therefore if your class took this test, you could see how each person will learn better in some way more than other. For that reason we must teach to a broader range of talents and skills. This is achieved in teaching by using multiple intelligences.


Gardiner’s theory of multiple intelligences identifies eight areas that relate to individuals ability (Krause, K, et al. 2006, p. 231) . These intelligences are:
  • Linguistic intelligence ("word smart")
  • Logical-mathematical intelligence ("number/reasoning smart")
  • Spatial intelligence ("picture smart")
  • Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence ("body smart")
  • Musical intelligence ("music smart")
  • Interpersonal intelligence ("people smart")
  • Intrapersonal intelligence ("self smart")
  • Naturalist intelligence ("nature smart")

ICT supports all the learning style (Gardner's Multiple Intelligences). It involves sound, visuals, words, and numbers. Not only this it fosters group activities and individual activities. Infact ICT provides numerous tools that cater for all of these intelligences.
