Potentially, after identifying these intelligences in each student, the teacher would then be more capable of enhancing these intelligences and in effect, inducing learner within each student the motivation to excel in school, using the strength of their intelligences. Recognition of students' multiple intelligences would make teacher-student interaction within the classroom more dynamic: learning would be more understandable and 'attractive' for students and the teacher would have effective communication to students and would accomplish of sharing learning with them.
One of the ways in which a teacher could determine the intelligences of his/her students and develop activities that would promote the learning of the subject manner more easily for the whole class is for the teacher to create an intellectual profile of his/her students. Tools for intellectual profiling (covering all 8 domains/intelligences) were also developed by Gardner, and these tools could be used to determine the composition of intelligences in a classroom. After determining this, the teacher would then be in the best position to design lesson plans and activities that would highlight one to three intelligences of the students, with the objective of increasing receptivity to, retention of, and understanding of the lesson or learning shared. Gardner recognizes that not all 8 intelligences could be incorporated in all classroom lesson plans and activities, but developing strategies combining these intelligences would be more effective than using one kind of teaching strategy addressing only one kind of intelligence (Checkley, 1997:4).

Multiple Intelligences and Intelligence
Intelligence tests provide a means of assessing a person's intelligence. However, it may not be as useful to measure everyone's intelligence. For example, those that are economically disadvantages or part of a minority may score lower versus others lending to underrepresentation in talented/gifted programs. While IQ tests may provide a basis from which to assess degree of intelligence, it may not be an accurate representation of an individual's intelligence. This
