Emotional Intelligence

You scored 60% correct

This information could be used in several ways to inform my learning design. The first way would be to use these tests to assess students abilities. Emotional Intelligence (EQ) would give an insite to what makes the student "tick" emotionally. For example how they react to other students, or topics that are being discussed.
Also, to know and understand a students multiple intelligences would inform the teacher what students may or may not have trouble with (topic content).
The idea of multiple intelligences I feel is a good move away from the traditional IQ tests, as the IQ tests I feel don't give a wide enough scope of information on a students ability. i.e student 1 may have a high IQ and be an acceptional academic student but couldn't draw a stick figure to save themselves, whilst student two is a brilliant musician and artist, but can't count past three. Both are brilliant students, both may be rich people, neither are alike. Yet as Sir Ken Robinson suggested, we treat the academic student as gifted, and the other as LD, stupid, ADD or a no hoper. I feel I agree greatly with Ken, and although academic rigour is still very important, creativity is the lifeblood of our unknown future.
