   I scored highest in the area of kinesthetic intelligence. I would say this is
    pretty accurate because I am a dancer and I have a very heightened
    awareness of my body. I also think that because I am a dancer, it is easiest
    for me to learn through a physical activity. My second highest score
    intrapersonal intelligence I would say is very accurate, I have a strong sense
    of who I am as an individual and what I believe in. I do not mind being by
    myself and having "me time". My third highest is tied with visual/spatial and
    linguistic. I would say both of these are accurate. I definitely understand
    things better when I read them or see a chart, diagram or picture as opposed
    to just hearing something and having to learn it. My fourth highest, musical
    intelligence, I think is accurate. I have always enjoyed music and feel very
    connected to it. I also am able to pick up on song lyrics and melodies very
    quickly. I can hear a song for the first time and be able to sing along by the
    last chorus. I think my fifth highest, naturalistic intelligence, is accurate. I
    enjoy being outside and often feel more focused. I also enjoy camping and
    exploring outside. Interpersonal intelligence was lower than I thought it
    might be. I am very good at communicating and seeing situations from
    different perspectives. I sometimes am not very sensitive to other people's
    emotions though. I would say it is accurate that logical intelligence is my
    lowest score. Math is not my forte at all. I am good at science when it does
    not involve math, but if it is a subject that involves math, like physics, I am
    not as good at it as other sciences.
   For a kinesthetic activity, we
    could carry out our own
    classical conditioning
    experiment. It of course would
    be within ethical guidelines.
    For instance, we could say a
    phrase and then offer a parent
    a piece of candy. This action
    would be repeated. Eventually
    though, we would just say the
    phrase and our parents
    conditioned response would be
    to hold out their hand for a
    piece of candy. This activity
    physically gets a student
    involved, and for someone like
    me who learns best through
    kinesthetic learning, it would
    help me to fully comprehend
    the topic.
   For a nature/nurture
    activity, we could write a
    journal reflection about
    where we think aspects
    of our personality came
    from. For instance, your
    whole family may be
    quiet and reserved, but
    because you surround
    yourself with boisterous
    people, you are loud and
    outgoing. This would be
    due to nurture. Similar
    examples would be given
    and analyzed for nature
    influences.
    A visual spatial activity for
    sensation would be
    assembling pieces of a
    diagram of body structures
    such as the eye and ear.
    This would help give a good
    picture of what these
    structures look like and
    what part goes where. It
    also would help in better
    comprehending the
    material because the
    student is putting it
    together themselves, and
    not just looking at an
    already put together
    diagram.
