math if I was measuring something like my boat or my money. My
intelligence strengths were spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, and intrapersonal,
which is why I doodled in class, built a boat, and was not threatened or
motivated when teachers told me I wouldn’t get a good job if I didn’t get

good grades.
At this time, you may want to ask yourself: of the seven intelligences,
which are you strongest at? You may want to list them in order, one being
the highest and seven being the lowest. I encourage you to read Dr.
