Do you teach your students how they are smart in many ways? If you have shared Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence Theory with them, you’ll find this kid-friendly survey to be an excellent way to help them identify their own strengths. You can download this MI Survey for Kids from my Teaching Resources website where you’ll find other resources for teaching MI theory. Teaching your students how people are smart in many ways can be very empowering, and most students enjoy the process of discovering how they learn best.
This survey is something I developed to use in my own 5th grade classroom, so I won’t claim that it’s research-based. But it is a useful tool when presented as a fun activity rather than a true assessment. It’s actually very easy to use, but because it appears a bit confusing at first, I created this slidecast tutorial that explains exactly what to do and where to find additional resources on this topic. Before you use this with kids, you might even want to try it yourself! You might be surprised with the results!

I love this survey! I teach kindergarten and I always assume I am hitting all of the learning styles, however I have never taken the time to find out which learning style each child is. I cannot wait to use it in my classroom.
Thank You!
It is really nice!! I'll apply it on my daughter and also use it in the classroom. Thanks!!
