Chapter 3: Describing Intelligences in Students

This chapter, while repeating a lot of information about Multiple Intelligences that we’ve already become familiar with, offers a great deal of useful information-seeking techniques to become very comfortable with students’ strong intelligences. I was a little surprised and frustrated with the initial contention that quick tests shouldn’t be used to exactly identify students’ strong multiple intelligences. It seemed to me like that would have been a good technique to get an immediate inventory of students, even if it weren’t exact. I think it could work if there were also personal connection to students. A lot of the ideas offered sound really helpful for going in depth.
