Mensa IQ Test

Mensa Workout
• Initial Comments
• What were your responses/reactions when taking
the Mensa workout?
• Identify the factors that could contribute to errors
or not an accurate representation of your
intelligence.
Rethinking IQ
In 1983, Harvard University professor Howard Gardner published his book
• MI theory asserts that individuals who have a high level of aptitude in one
intelligence do not necessarily have a similar aptitude in another intelligence. For
example, a young person who demonstrates an impressive level of musical
intelligence may be far less skilled when it comes to bodily-kinesthetic or logicalmathematical intelligence. Perhaps that seems obvious, but it's important to
recognize that this notion stands in sharp contrast to the traditional (and still
dominant) view of intelligence as a general ability that can be measured along a
single scale and summarized by a single number.

Application
With the knowledge of Multiple Intelligence (how people learn), let’s help
these two students.
Student #1: Struggles with Math concepts
Multiple Intelligences: Kinesthetic, Musical, and Visual
What are 5 different activities that will help this student improve their
learning Math?
Student #2: Struggles with Reading
Multiple Intelligences: Auditory, Interpersonal, Mathematical
What are 5 different activities that will help this student improve their
learning Reading?
How do you learn?
1. Choose 2 subjects you would like to improve in.
2. Identify the problem/challenges with this subject area
Applying your Results
1. Choose 3 intelligences that scored the highest percentage.
2. Create 5 different activities for each subject that will help you improve your learning.
Example:
You are a visual, kinesthetic, and rhythmic learner. You would like to improve in Biology
but you have difficulty understanding the concepts of human biology. You could:
1. Watch a youtube clip of a video explaining how a heart pumps blood
2. Make a model of the heart
3. Write a simple song or rhyme about the directions of blood flow
4. Create actions/movement to memorize the blood flow through the chambers of the
heart
5. Use an anatomy coloring book.
