Your personal learning style involves several factors, especially:
Which are your strongest intelligences?
What senses do you prefer to use as you learn?
Your strongest Intelligences
Research by Dr Howard Gardner at Harvard University in the USA indicates that we have, not a single fixed IQ, but several different forms of intelligence. They can all be developed, but it makes sense to use your strongest type of intelligence as you learn.
Okay, back to the topic. There are eight (wow) different types of learning profiles, namely:
- Kinaesthetic
- Linguistic
- Logical
- Intrapersonal
- Interpersonal (It's different)
- Musical
- Visual/Spatial
- And lastly, Naturalistic
Now, guess which one is my learning style?
*DRUMROLLS*
Answer?
Naturalistic! YAY! :D
haha okay that was random. But anyway, as part of my school's curriculum, I'm required to write here what I feel about the results of the MI test (ie. what i feel about being a naturalist)
So, here goes!
I've always felt that i've loved nature, ever since young. And i've also always been able to think clearly and forget about all my problems when I went to the park, the nature reserves, etc. This, of course, made me want to sit there, among the lush greenery forever, and forget everything. No more tests, no more exams, no more stress!
I guess that's your idea of utopia.
But of course, that was impossible. It was impossible to escape from the harsh reality of life and hide in the safety of nature forever.
When possible, I used to take my homework, go to a quiet corner of the "garden" at the foot of my condominium, and sit down there for hours completing my homework. The best thing was that I was able to complete my homework much faster than I would have in my study room.
Unfortunately, my parents didn't approve of my "habit", and insisted that I remain in the apartment to study. And nowadays, every now and then, I would stare out of the window and wish that I was back in the arms of nature.
So I guess I really am a naturalistic person.
On a lighter note, do visit http://www.bgfl.org/bgfl/custom/resources_ftp/client_ftp/ks3/ict/multiple_int/questions/choose_lang.cfm to see what your learning profile is!
