Your top three intelligences:

Intelligence Score (5.0 is highest) Description

Spatial
4.43

Spatial: You remember things visually, including exact sizes and shapes of objects. You like posters, charts, and graphics. You like any kind of visual clues. You enjoy drawing. Effective techniques of enhancing your learning using your spatial intelligence include creating and/or using pictures, maps, diagrams, and graphs as you learn things. Other suggestions:

  • Write a language experience story and then illustrate it.

  • Color code words so each syllable is a different color.

  • Write a word on the blackboard with a wet finger. Visualize the word as it disappears. See if you can spell it afterwards.

  • Take a survey. Put the information in a chart.

  • Write words vertically.

  • Cut out words from a magazine and use them in a letter.

  • Visualize spelling words.

  • Use colorful newspapers like USA Today.

  • Use crossword puzzles.

Musical
4.43

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."

Body
4.43

Body Movement: You like to move, dance, wiggle, walk, and swim. You are likely good at sports, and you have good fine motor skills. You may enjoy taking things apart and putting them back together. Incorporating body movement into your learning will help you process and retain information better. Here are some ideas.

  • Trace letters and words on each other's back.

  • Use magnetic letters, letter blocks, or letters on index cards to spell words.

  • Take a walk while discussing a story or gathering ideas for a story.

  • Make pipe cleaner letters. Form letters out of bread dough. After you shape your letters, bake them and eat them!

  • Use your whole arm (extend without bending your elbow) to write letters and words in the air.

  • Change the place where you write and use different kinds of tools to write, ie., typewriter, computer, blackboard, or large pieces of paper.

  • Write on a mirror with lipstick or soap.

  • Take a walk and read all the words you find during the walk.

  • Handle a Koosh ball or a worry stone during a study session.

  • Take a break and do a cross-lateral walk.

Hunter..

Was our faithful 'vegetable' dog back home in M'sia.... he's been around for quite some while..
could still remember the times when he was naughty.. sneaking past the fencing... and running off to mark his territory around the neighbourhood.. he was really one very intelligent dog..
he enjoyed our 'sayang-ing' (patting) and would close his eyes in relaxation..
there was once he climbed under the fence and ran after a theft which was running out a neighbour's house.. and the thief was crying when Hunter bit his hand..
Today.. he left us, do pray he's in a better place now..
brother messaged me... ' lipsing.. Hunter died ler... '
i was just stunned momentarily.... sigh.. didn't know what to think...
just to sum things up quickily... my parents had to get the vet to put him to sleep.. cos he had a serious constipation problem.. it was the same problem 5 years or so ago.. with my other dog.. which was at least 15 years of age..
This just... reminds me again.. to appreciate what i have now..the people around me.. and also the two other dogs at home.. people come.. people go.. cycle of life.. which is quite a sad thing actually. nothing can we do bout it.. =/
really feel like cryin now... ='(
