So when i took both the inventories i feel like they describe me very well! when i read my results i was lke oh yeah thats me alright! on the multiple intelligence inventory test my highest score was interpersonal then body/knesthetic then my lowest scoe was music which is so true, lol i dont know too much about music as it is. Then for my paragon testing i was ENFP which basically said i was a portrait of champion! we ready we ready we ready for ya ll! lol just kidding. However i did feel like some of the questions on each of the test were a little dumb and i didnt know why they were being asked bt oh well .......... but i do have to say that the test did very well on matching up my personality

I'm glad you took something away from the inventories. While anyone is definitely their own best judge of themselves - that is knowing themselves, sometimes it takes an outside observer or tool such as these inventory to confirm what we already know, or give a more detailed description of what we know about ourselves. They can also help to explain why we are who we are, or why we do what we do. This information is important because it helps us to not only understand ourselves better, and possibly more accurately; it also helps us know that there are other types of people out there, who may not necessarily share our learning styles and/or intelligences. Consequently as a teacher, even of young children, it's critical to be aware of those other learning styles and be aware of your own. Typically teachers teach the way the prefer to learn, which is not the same for every child. The MI inventory really does have several questions that ask the same thing in different ways, to provide referential integrity to the questions and integrity to the person taking the inventory - not as a question of ethics, but as a way of re-affirming your answers to other questions.
