Editor's Note: Since this video was filmed in 2009, former principal Susan Culbreath has moved on to coordinate early learning at the district level for Gainesville City Schools, and former assistant principal Donna Allen has become principal of the district's 6th Grade Academy. Smartville is still flourishing under the leadership of principal Matt Maynor and assistant principal Jennifer Westbrook.

Free Learning Styles Quiz
Hi Wendy,
Although it's not an I.Q. test, we offer a free Multiple Intelligences Quiz where you can discover your learning style. Check it out: http://www.edutopia.org/quiz-school-subjects-learn-about-yourself.
I don't suppose there is a free online I. Q. test? Does anyone know? Wendy
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.

There are free online tests
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.
