Those qualities are what helped me decide to be an English major. My Logical/Mathematical and Naturalist areas were low, which did not surprise me either. I am a person who understands English and History more than I understand or enjoy Math or Science areas of study. Being a musical person is in my family. My father's side of the family is very musically inclined, so I figured I would score highly in the Musical area. I was pleased to see that I scored highly in both the Intrapersonal and Interpersonal areas. I feel that being a teacher requires one to both reflect internally on teaching and teaching style, but also feel that a teacher must be able to effectively communicate with not only students, but colleagues as well. I was surprised to see that the Bodily/Kinesthetic area scored highly, as I've never felt that I identified in that area before. I feel like this helped me learn more about myself and about what helps me learn.
