There are free online tests for IQ, Learning Styles, Mulitple Intelligences and several other types. My favorites are the ones through the Scwab Learning Foundation. I give my special education students a multiple intelligences quiz at the beginning of the year and then I "analyze" them. I refer to the various categories almost daily, "Okay, today's assignment will be easy for visual learners and challenging for you kinesthetic thinkers." Things like that. They really respond and it helps them realize that LD does not mean Lazy or Dumb.

Smartville

Certainly multiple intelligences (MI) are alive and well at Smartville. But, from this video it's also obvious that authentic engagement (AE) is also flourishing. Students learn so that they can competently complete real tasks. MI and AE need not exist together. But it is certainly obvious that when they do co-exist the highest quality learning can occur.
