Buddhimotta - MI Test

Buddhimotta is a Bengali language mobile application designed to assess Howard Gardner's eight multiple intelligences (MIs), offering a more holistic approach to understanding individual strengths & weaknesses. Buddhimotta employs a culturally relevant and accessible format, utilizing a 10-question Likert scale for each MI, encompassing both educational and general domains. Users can then assess where they stand and where they need to develop by viewing the overall scores for each of the eight MIs: linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, naturalistic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal intelligence. Strong score distributions across various MIs are found in a pilot study involving a varied sample of students, indicating the app's efficacy in capturing individual variations and achieving acceptable internal consistency. The application's intuitive design, captivating user interface and perceptive outcomes are further emphasized by favorable user reviews. These findings suggest Buddhimotta's potential to empower self-awareness, facilitate personalized learning, guide educational and career choices and promote diverse learning environments. Due to its ease of use and accessibility, it can be used widely, influencing student learning outcomes and promoting a more diverse educational environment.

Through the application, it will be known what subject a student is good at, how he prefers to learn something and in which intelligence he is lagging behind, and in this context he can look at his strong intelligences and see where he can build his career in the future.

The application for testing multiple intelligences basically has a set of questions for each intelligence against the 8 types of intelligence, which the students can answer in a very fun way. For each intelligence, by answering the questions related to that intelligence, it is clear how far ahead or behind a student is in that intelligence.
