Social Intelligence: Things to know for the IELTS Test. People who are strong in the social intelligence like to develop ideas and learn from other people. They like to talk. They have good social skills. Use the interactive sections of your lessons as much as you can. Away from classes you can sign-up for extra video conferences at Ieltsinternational.com., but in class make sure to use every opportunity to use your English communication skills.

Here are ways to work with this intelligence in your lessons:

• Take part in group discussions or discuss a topic one-to-one. Start a study group with people in your area or class.

• Read a dialogue or a play with a classmate.

• Do team learning/investigating projects, surveys to gather data for writing tasks.

• Set up interview questions, and interview your family. Write the results or make charts and graphs with other classmates. Present your results to the class.

• Write notes to one another instead of talking.

• Be nice to your teacher, he or she probably deserves a present.

This intelligence has to do with interaction with others (Social is also called interpersonal). People who have a high interpersonal intelligence tend to be extroverts, characterized by their sensitivity to others' moods, feelings, temperaments and motivations, and their ability to cooperate in order to work as part of a group. They communicate effectively and empathize easily with others, and may be either leaders or followers. They typically learn best by working with others and often enjoy discussion and debate.

Careers that suit those with this intelligence include politicians, managers, teachers, and social workers.
