A must read for teachers and parents
This book is a delightful way to learn more about Gardner's MI theory. The exercises are fun. The lists at the end of each section generate a lot of wonderful ideas for ways to discover more about your child's intelligences (or your own, for that matter). As a teacher of grades 7 -11, I found this book invaluable!

"You know much more than you think....."
The rest of the quote is ..."because you think in more ways than you know." This is the idea behind the Theory of Multiple Intelligences, and Dr. Armstrong really makes it interesting and fun to learn how to develop all of your intelligences. If you ever went to school (who didn't?), or are planning to go to school, READ THIS BOOK! It should be mandatory.

What They Don't Teach You At College
For people interested in learning more about multiple intelligences without the lengthy sentences and academic verbosity, this is a great book. Not only is it simple in its text, but it's also fun to read because of the exercises and tests included for each intelligence. You learn that in real life there is no one true way to label a "smart" person, and for the more unconventional and unusual among us this is good news. You can realize and apply your talents to everyday life, and try to develop the intelligences in which you are not as strong. So when you look at your old high school report cards or college transcripts and groan loudly in disgust, throw them in the trash and read this book.
