I am a Peer Learning Assistant (tutor) for the Student Learning Center this year. This semester, they wanted all tutors to learn about the theory of multiple intelligences and implement it in our sessions. So I have heard a lot about this theory, and really like it.
The two intelligences that I would like to develop are visual-spatial and interpersonal. My visual intelligence is particularly lacking.

This year I moved into an apartment with my friend and she was always getting mad at me because I had absolutely zero input on how to decorate and organize it. I just couldn't find a vision, much less know what to put where to make that vision a reality. To develop this, I think it would be good practice to try and visualize what I want before I take action. For example, I think I am far more kinesthetically inclined. I would rather begin and keep trying to fix it. But if I don't allow myself the process of trial and error always, I will have to develop my visual skills.
While I think I have good interpersonal intelligence, I would always like to develop it further! It's still not great, and we definitely need great interpersonal skills to excel.
