Multiple Intelligence Survey

Linguistic intelligence & mathematical intelligence

by Diana Bohmer

Linguistic Intelligence

Does your child:

  • Enjoy listening to other people talking?
  • Get annoyed with people who use improper English? (for example, He don't know the answer.)
  • Like to learn new words?
  • Give good directions to others so that they understand the first time?
  • Like to tell stories?
  • Enjoy reading books?
  • Have a good memory for names, dates, and trivia?

    If this sounds familiar, then your child might someday write a bestseller or become fluent in four languages.

    Logical-Mathematical Intelligence

    Does your child:

  • Like to work with computers and calculators?
  • Enjoy math class?
  • Easily add numbers in her head?
  • Enjoy doing science experiments?
  • Ask a lot of questions about how things work?
  • Enjoy chess, checkers, or other strategy games?
  • Enjoy logic puzzles or brainteasers?

    If so, then your child could one day design sky-scrapers or program computers.
