WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

Multiple Intelligence Test - Description and methodology of the test

intellect

type of intelligence

People seeking a practical way to reflect on how they learn, communicate, solve problems, create, move, and relate to others may use the Multiple Intelligence Test as a starting point. This multiple intelligence assessment presents a six-part profile for personal exploration, helping readers recognize familiar strengths, notice less-used capacities, and choose areas for further practice without reducing ability to a single number.

What This Assessment Explores

Readers seeking a self-reflective profile can connect preferences with areas for practice. An intelligence profile assessment can identify strengths.

The result displays these scales and bands:

Emotional Intelligence (EQ), 0-22, measures emotional understanding, self-management, and relationships; Low 0-5, Average 6-18, High 19-22.
Physical IQ, 0-16, measures bodily skill, coordination, and agility; Low 0-8, Average 9-13, High 14-16.
Creative IQ, 0-15, measures originality and idea generation; Low 0-8, Average 9-12, High 13-15.
Logical IQ, 0-17, measures reasoning, analysis, and problem solving; Low 0-9, Average 10-14, High 15-17.
Visual IQ, 0-21, measures perception and use of images; Low 0-12, Average 13-17, High 18-21.
Verbal IQ, 0-20, measures speaking, writing, reading, and listening; Low 0-4, Average 5-16, High 17-20.

Methodology and Scientific Basis

Items use yes-or-no responses to everyday preferences, activities, abilities, and social-emotional tendencies. They sample verbal and visual thinking, reasoning, creative problem solving, physical activity, communication, teaching, and emotional expression. The result is reported across six displayed scale scores rather than as one combined IQ score.

Scores are compared with each scale’s displayed Low, Average, or High band. The questionnaire uses a quiz-like format to provide a structured self-report assessment of six intelligence types, not a timed performance test or direct observation.

Methodologically, the questionnaire is conceptually consistent with Armstrong's Multiple Intelligences Inventory and Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences. Gardner and Hatch discuss educational implications of that framework. These sources identify the model; they do not make this questionnaire a validated reproduction or adaptation.

Waterhouse's critical review found inadequate support for strong claims that multiple intelligences are independent abilities. The displayed bands are descriptive labels, not population norms or clinical thresholds unless test-specific standardization evidence is available; current interests, self-image, memory, and candor may influence responses. The profile can support reflection and goal-setting, but it is not a diagnosis.
