In managing learning, teachers need information to meet children's different learning styles and interests. Recognizing children's intelligence from an early age can be determined through the Sensing, Thinking, Intuiting, Feeling, and Instinct Intelligence Test (STIFIn). This is useful for knowing the child's learning style, characteristics, and interests so that it can be said to be suitable for carrying out differentiated learning based on the child's characteristics. This research aims to identify children's interests and talents to help provide an overview of the potential components of each child's character and solutions for handling problematic children. The method used is a descriptive qualitative case study type with an inductive deductive pattern. The research results show that teachers can use the STIFIn test results as a basis for creating a learning environment that suits children's needs based on the characteristics recognized in each child, through predetermined differentiation of strategies, media, and evaluation of learning in early childhood. implemented to support development. early childhood according to their needs and potential.
