Conclusion A valid and reliable preference indicator, which is named Multiple Intelligences Survey (MIS), exists for identifying Multiple Intelligence preferences of adult learners (McClellan, 2006).

This theory acknowledges that while all students may not be verbally or mathematically gifted, students may have an expertise in other areas. Rank each of the following 9 items from 1 to 9.
