My highest was intrapersonal which says:

You Are an Interpersonal Learner
Your mantra: I understand what you mean.
Interpersonal learners thrive on social interaction. Friends often ask you for advice because you are understanding and in tune with the people around you and their motives, emotions, perspectives, and moods.
Your ability to manage relationships helps you understand situations and take a leadership role when necessary. You enjoy teaching and sharing your thoughts.
Careers that require insight and the ability to read what someone else is thinking or feeling -- such as teaching, psychology, or sales -- would be a great match for those with interpersonal intelligence.
Tips for the way you learn:
Give and receive feedback.
Talk out problems.
Work on large-group projects so you can use your social abilities to divide up tasks and understand all aspects of the project.
Be a part of active learning through mentoring, tutoring, or an apprenticeship. This activity will reinforce your own knowledge or abilities.

I think this describes me fairly well, almost right on!

My Reflection:

I think there is a huge difference than how I was taught and how I plan to teach. I think students have a different culture than I did when I was in elementary school. I totally want to teach with more technology than I was taught with since students are using the Internet now more than they are watching TV. I want to teach between kindergarten and third grade so I would probably use more things like Quia and have my own class website. I think reading tests and games are any easy way to use the computer. I think students need to be more creative and I think the computer and technology is an easy way for them to express themselves. I also want my students to be more active and not sit in their desks all day doing worksheets. I know that is going to be a tough task, but I am willing to put the time in. I really cannot wait to teach!
