Abstract

This study analyzed the pattern of preschool children's abilities based on Project Spectrum and compared the relationship between intelligence domains with working styles of children. Generally, children showed both strengths and weaknesses in specific Spectrum domains, but some children had only strengths and others had only weaknesses without strengths. It appeared that working style does not relate to children's strong domains, but individual disposition was reflected by characteristics of the task. During both individual and group spectrum activities, children with strengths were more "easily engaged in activity", "confident", and "focused" than those without strong intelligence domains. During individual activities, the "reflective" domain showed children with strengths in intelligence domains are more reflective than those without strengths.
