Chapter ten of Multiple Intelligences discusses assessment in a slightly different way than the other books have. It talks specifically about assessment with regards to multiple intelligences. One of the more helpful parts to me is that chart that shows how activities geared toward a certain intelligence can then be assessed using a different intelligence, or that same intelligence. For example, if an instructor wanted to have students observe nature and then be assessed in an interpersonal way, they could observe nature, then share with a friend. The only part of the chart that seemed a bit off to me was the assessment for the naturalist intelligence. How would doing an ecology project assess whether or not a student benefited from reading a book, or playing a cooperative game? Stuff like that makes me suspect that the naturalist intelligence might not stand up to the same scrutiny of the other ones.
