On the same note, if my workplace involves physical labor, I won't quite be able to cope as well as some others. I would rather sit down with some coworkers and work out what needs to be done than run around and figure it out as I go along. Theses assessments of my personal strengths and weaknesses beggars the question: How can I use this test to make me a better manager? The answer is obvious, work on my weaknesses. As a manager I will have to understand and work well with my coworkers, and in that department I am certainly competent. However in order to be a completely competent manager I'll have to learn to be physical, and more able to visualize plans and ideas.

The answer to becoming more physical is an obvious one: learn to work with my hands. On the workplace I'll have to be able to fix things, or maybe work with models or equipment.

I have learned that I am good at listening to people, and that I know how to work with people.

One has to wonder though, if the discrepancies between my self-image and the test results are the result of a flawed self-image or flaws in the test itself. In any regards the self-improvement that will come from this test makes up for any flaws, real or perceived.

1983, Howard Gardner challenged conventional views of teaching and learning styles with his book, Frames of Mind. Gardner hypothesized that the skill-sets of different people are directly correlated to their learning styles. It was from this that he developed the theory of multiple intelligences. Within this theory there are seven intelligences, linguistic intelligence, musical intelligence, logical-mathematical intelligence, spatial intelligence, bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, and what are known as intra and inter-personnel
