Carolyn Kalil’s True Colors Personality Quiz has taught me that I am more adventurous and restless than serious and punctual. The Learning Styles Inventory and Learning Styles Descriptions by Solomon and Felder has taught me that I am a reflective, sensing, visual, learner. As a reflective learner, I prefer to learn by myself at first to make sure that I understand the material. It is also extremely hard for me to get through a lecture where all I do is take notes. I am not able to sit and memorize the material, I have to read the information over and over again. I also like being able to get up and do things during class. I am also a sensing learner, which means that I like learning the clear cut facts and solving problems with the best given method. In high school, I was best at history, because it was memorizing facts. There were no theories that would hinder my learning process. I also liked calculus, because I was able to solve the problems with the best given methods and I could do them step by step. The best way for me to learn is to relate the material to the real…

    Upon completion of the learning style inventory exercises, I gained awareness of the learning styles that will continue to be discussed throughout the duration of this course. Being introduced to the different types of learning styles are of vital importance to me as a student, as it helps me discover ways in which I learn. The purpose of this exercise is to help us identify ourselves in accordance to when we feel successful at learning, and by that, what techniques we use and how we apply them to learn to the best of our ability. We were instructed to fill out various interrelated ideas on how people learn, and based on our personal opinions; rate them on a scale of one through four, with four being the strongest answer. We then would total up our answers, in each of the following categories: Concrete Experience (Feeling), Reflective Observation (Watching), Abstract Conceptualization (Thinking), and Active Experimentation (Doing) and represent our total numbers with drawing four connecting lines to create a formation of a “kite.” In every aspect of the grid within the learning style graph, the illustration of my ‘kite’ hit all the designation points to create a perfect four-sided kite. The numbers in which my lines connected to were all almost, or hit right at the peak of each side of the grid. This essentially means that for each learning style criteria, my totals scored high and were ranked a vast majority of fours.…
