Self: You have a very good sense of self. You like to
spend time by yourself and think things over. You will often take in information
from another person, mull it over by yourself, and come back to that person
later to discuss it. You like working on projects on your own. You often prefer
to learn by trial and error. Effective techniques to enhance your learning
include keeping a journal and giving yourself time to reflect on new ideas and
information. More ideas:
- Go on "guided imagery" tours.
- Set aside time to reflect on new ideas and information.
- Encourage journal writing.
- Work on the computer.
- Practice breathing for relaxation.
- Use brainstorming methods before reading.
- Listen to and read "how to" tapes and books.

Language: You enjoy enjoy saying, hearing, and seeing
words. You like telling stories. You are motivated by books, records, dramas,
opportunities for writing. Effective techniques of enhancing your learning using
your language intelligence include reading aloud, especially plays and poetry.

enjoy exploring and developing your love of words, i.e., meanings of words,
origin of words and idioms, names. Use different kinds of dictionaries. Other
ideas:
- Keep a journal
- Use a tape recorder to tape stories and write them down
- Read together, i.e., choral reading
- Read a section, then explain what you've read
- Read a piece with different emotional tones or viewpoints — one angry, one
happy, etc.
- Trade tall tales, attend story-telling events and workshops
- Research your name

Musical: You like the rhythm and sound of language. You
like poems, songs, and jingles. You enjoy humming or singing along with music.
You probably remember things well when they are associated with music or rhythm.
Try to incorporate sounds into your lessons, such as using a familiar tune,
song, or rap beat to teach spelling rules, or to remember words in a series for
a test. Here are some other ways to use your musical intelligence:
- Create a poem with an emphasis on certain sounds for
pronunciation.
- Clap out or walk out the sounds of syllables.
- Read together (choral reading) to work on fluency and
intonation.
- Read a story with great emotion — sad, then happy, then
angry. Talk about what changes — is it only tone?
- Work with words that sound like what they mean
(onomatopoeia). For example: sizzle, cuckoo, smash.
- Read lyrics to music.
- Use music as background while reviewing and for helping to
remember new material.
- Use rhymes to remember spelling rules, i.e., "I before E
except after C."
