*My Different Learning Styles*

In my "Index of Learning Styles Questionnaire" I scored the my highest ( 7) in Sensing Learners. This means that I have a moderate preference for this one dimension scale.This particular type of learning style likes learning facts, and solving problems by well established methods. We dislike complications and surprises. Sensors resent being tested on materials that was not explicitly covered in class. I feel like this information described me pretty well. I am very hands on and I love to get straight to the factual information. I scored a my second highest in the Verbal learners part. Which means I get more out of words. Such as written and spoken explanations. This information is also true for me. I learn the most by writing and re-writing the information. It helps me to memorize more efficiently.

When I took the "What's your Learning Style" Questionnaire I scored mostly b's which meant that I was an Auditory learner. Auditory learners learn by listening and hearing. They can sit where they hear but need not to pay attention to what is going on in front of them. Auditory Listeners also, acquire knowledge by reading out loud and remember things by verbalizing lessons out loud to themselves.This is partially true for me. Although I learn best my listening and watching as well.

In the Kolb's Learning Style Inventory my results said that I was an "Organizer". Organizers are good at adapting to change. They also solve things in a trial & error manner. Organizers are at ease with new people, enjoys small group discussions and likes to try anything new. All of these traits describe me. One thing that was said about organizer that did not quite describe me was that they like problem solving. I like solving a problem but I like to do it the quickest and easiest way possible!

The last test I took was the Myer-Briggs Type Indicator. My result were "ESFJ". This means that I am slightly expressed extravert, a moderate expressed sensing personality, a moderately expressed feeling and a slightly expressed judging personality. This also described my personality as being a "Provider". Providers are generous entertainers, they give their type to help others, they love to entertain, are outstanding hostesses. In the medical field they would be become great Nurses. This described me very well because I do see myself as a provider. I find joy in helping people because it brings a smile to my face. The prediction of me being a Nurse was also correct because I am a Physician Assistant in the making because providing help to others is a natural part of me. MLK & Eleanor Roosevelt were also "Providers".

Well I defnitely enjoyed taking these tests and learning more about myself! You learn something new everyday and it is even more interesting when you learn new things about yourself.
