IQ and Learning Styles

Prior to completing this journal, please review Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligences, watch the Environmental and Genetic Influences on Intelligence  and Multiple Intelligence videos, and review any relevant Instructor Guidance. 

For this assignment, you will create a 500-1000 word Journal entry. First, you will reflect on what type of intelligence you feel you embody, according to Gardner’s theory, and why.  Then, take this learning style quiz and report your results within the journal.  How did your perception and the test results differ? How are intelligence and learning style similar, if at all?  If they do not seem to be related, explain why you think that is.  In what ways has either your intelligence type or your learning style benefited you in your development, and in what ways has it held you back?  How can being aware of your intelligence type and learning style relate the value of continued learning by promoting success here in your educational journey at Ashford and in your personal life?

You must cite all of your sources (including the video embedded above) in proper APA style.  If you are unsure how to create an APA style reference page, please visit the Citation and Reference page on the Ashford Writing Center website. Aside from the website on which you took you quiz, you are to find one scholarly resource through the Ashford Library website to help support your reflections.  View this great tutorial provided by the Ashford University Library which will show you how to find scholarly articles and how to assess the scholarly quality of the resource. 

NOTE: As you are completing your searches in the library search engines, check the boxes in the search engines of the library for scholarly, peer-reviewed sources. This allows you to find resources that have been evaluated by a number of experts in the field and do not represent just one person’s opinion.
