Next we are going to see whether we were right about our intelligences. Go to the link below to complete the self-assessment.

Here you can complete a test to find out what intelligences apply to you personally. When you have finished the test, you get information about how the different intelligences are important to you and what this means. You also get information about your characteristics and there is a list of various jobs that might be interesting to you. In short; a lot of information to think about!
