How are you smart?

It's a simple question. Yet, when trying to answer simply, the question becomes more complex. Think of Howard Gardner's research in Multiple Intelligences, your own strengths and weaknesses, your likes and dislikes, and the surveys we did in class. Now, how are you smart? What is your learning style? How might being able to identify your own learning style actually help you learn anything? Think about it. Then post your thoughts.

Hey Mrs. McI,
I want to learn more about my learning type, but I want to learn about everyone elses, too. I tutor a friend on the bus and this has really helped me help her already.
