Learning Styles

Every person has different learning styles, after taking three different tests on various websites I tried to find out my learning style. I will briefly talk about the results I gathered, and how much of is accurate. Out of the three tests that I took, two of the results came back indicating that I was a Kinesthetic learner. One test result was I was a visual learner. I do not agree with visual learning results. It states that a visual learner has a preference for seen or observed things; meaning; flip-charts, diagrams etc. I am not person that likes to concentrate on diagrams or charts, and cannot learn that way. My learning style is more of Kinesthetic learner, I like to have hands on experience, I like to move around a lot, activities such as going to the gym or cooking falls within my interest and I enjoy a lot, I like to take notes and talk about the subject or the project with another person. I also understand better with written instructions, when I buy a new cell phone for example, I like to play around with the phone to figure out the features of the phone as appose to reading the instructions. These are the results I gathered from the tests.

Personality Style

I took three different tests on three different web sites. According to these tests, I am a shy person, reserved, reliable, someone that can be trusted, someone who feels more comfortable planning ahead of time and sticks to the plan. All of these statements are true about me. However, one of the results was that I am close minded. I do not agree with this at all. I do not see myself as a close minded person, I except the people the way they are, yes it is true that I have my limits on how much fun I should have, or in another words, I like to use my common sense and not put myself or others in a dangerous situations. However, this aspect of my personality does not make a close- minded person. 

The personality types that, was developed, by; Carl Jung was that each individual had two psychological types. Introvert & Extravert, Extrovert is a broad personality type that whose overall orientation falls closer to under being a sociable, outgoing, spontaneous, talkative, and energetic person. Introverts on the other hand are more reserved, more withdrawn, quiet and they like privacy. 

 These two types were broken down to four functions: Thinking, feeling, sensation and, intuition. From this brake down the eight personality types were developed by Carl Jung: The extravert thinking type; The introvert thinking type; The extrovert feeling type; The introvert feeling type; The extravert sensation  type; The introvert sensation type; The extravert intuitive type; and The introvert, intuitive type. 

 I strongly agree with these personality types. I see myself as a combination of introvert sensation type along with, introvert feeling type.     

Career Goals

I am enrolled in a class that involves self assessment. I was advised by my Professor to take career goal tests on line to find out the best career path. I did, however, I am not so thrilled about wasting my time in front of the computer and wait for some web-site to tell me what I am good at, or not good at. 

As a result of these tests, I was determined that I am good at administrative work. NOT TRUE, I dislike paperwork, I hate to be in front of the computer all day sitting at a desk. I am more productive when I am working with people, and helping them with their problems or teaching them, that is the reason why I would like to become a teacher.
