No one uses just one type of intelligence; we all use several in our daily lives. Some are stronger than others for each person. Thus it's helpful to determine your top intelligences and tailor your learning and study methods to best meet your particular combination of strengths.

Index of Learning Styles Questionnaire

 The Index of Learning Styles is an on-line survey used to assess preferences on four dimensions (active/reflective, sensing/intuitive, visual/verbal, and sequential/global) of a learning style model formulated by Richard M. Felder and Linda K. Silverman. Users answer 44 a-b questions and submit the survey, and their four preferences are reported back to them immediately to be copied or printed out. The results are not stored so it is best to print them because when the report window is closed, the results are irretrievably lost.
