My Primary Learning Style

Improved Essays
Through these tests I have learned my primary learning style, my top five strengths, and the level of my multiple intelligences. I learned that my main learning style is kinesthetic, so I learn more through doing and using my senses.

Lastly, I learned the ranking of my multiple intelligences which are, from highest to lowest: interpersonal, kinesthetic, linguistic, logical, intrapersonal, visual/special, naturalistic, and musical.

I had a question in particular regarding the multiple intelligences test. My question was why is “music” a specific category, as opposed to it just being called “auditory”?

Another question was would a learning style be considered an intelligence? Since, kinesthetic was a result for both the earning styles quiz,
