According to Gregorc’s Learning Style…

I fit in the Abstract Sequential Learner although I

also saw some of my traits in the Concrete
Random Learner.

I prefer verbal, logical and analytical approaches

like those in multiple choice tests. I think I enjoy
solitude more than anyone. Sometimes, I am
highly skeptical, though I don’t know what
particular stimuli makes me be like this. I don’t
like external (take note of the word external!)
distractions when I am studying. I can catch up
with my lesson more when it is written, verbal,
and visual instructions. I enjoy the use of
internet not only for entertainment but mostly
for educational purposes (having many tabs
open for different topics!).

I sometimes prefer trial-and-error approach and I

am sometimes impulsive. I only read directions if
I have to. I enjoy computer games (role-playing
games) and simulations, and multimedia
(though I don’t really have ALL the resources!).
Sometimes, I enjoy independent studies.
 For the Brain Dominance…

I tried brain dominance tests online and they all

tell me one thing… I am a right-brained learner!

They tell me that I am holistic and intuitive,

which is true most of the time.

I really don't pay attention much to directions

(except when I really have to!) and I kinda get
bored (or lost) when reading them (so I have to
read them thrice!). When looking for answers, I
scan at books quickly and I don’t really like
reading them in details (except when it is an
interesting novel or when I skipped a lesson at
school).

I learn effectively in visual, kinesthetic and audio

images (like in instructional videos or
demonstrations). I don't memorize well so I need
to visualize a picture most of the time so I can
recall the facts. For example, when answering
identification-type tests, I can answer them not
because I know them by heart, but because I
remembered where and what part in my
notebook did I write it and what scenes
happened at school when that topic was
discussed.

I have frequent weird dreams. No wonder! Right

brained learners’ thoughts are frequently in code
and may have bizarre images in night dreams
leaving them confused as to what they mean.
 When right brains talk to you, they look at you
while listening and look away to the left when
answering a question. Odd to me, but true.

However, like most right-brains are, I can't

explain what I feel well. I am mostly
misunderstood. They think I am snobbish when I
am really just shy. They think I am problematic
when I don’t speak much. Sometimes, I think of
one thing, and then say another not realizing I
have done it so. The result is that I don't realize
what I said and I may get lost in conversations
(for example, if chats have no history records, I’ll
end up asking the person I’m chatting with about
the last thing I said while typing new topics of
discussion).

Here are some other traits of a right-brained

learner that applies to me:

• Take down notes but lose them; may have a

hard time keeping track of research
• I might have a hard time making up my
mind
• I seem dreamy, but I’m really deep in
thought
• I like to draw, or play music
• I like fantasy, sci-fi, and mystery stories
• I may lose track of time
• I notice (and my mom also says) that I am
unpredictable
• I tend to get lost
• I can listen to music or watch TV while
studying
• I prefer reading while lying down
• I am interested in “the unexplained” (aka
supernatural events)
• I enjoy English classes
• I daydream a lot when I have nothing else to
do
• I need to not leave things unattended so I
can finish things
• I prefer to work with group
• I can memorize music or even a
• Think better when lying down
• I become restless during long verbal
explanations
• I prefer to learn through free exploration
 According to Kolb’s Learning Styles…

I learn mostly by feeling, reflection,

watching, and listening.

It shows that I am a Diverger. I like imaginative,

innovative activities. I like generating a wide
range of ideas (on certain topics), and discussion
(at some parts). I try my best to be sensitive to
the feelings of others. I like being personally
involved in the learning experience and group
activities. I enjoy independent studies, web
searches, and receiving many examples.
 According to Gardner’s Multiple
Intelligences…

I apply to:

• Verbal/Linguistic since I enjoy reading,

writing, and computer-mediated
communication.

• Visual-Spatial since I like drawings, photos,

slides, animation, using mental imagery,
developing web pages, showing videos.

• Bodily Kinesthetic since I like being able to

manipulate a web page with the mouse,
visiting an avatar virtual world that allows
some control of the avatar's movements.

• Musical/Rhythmic since I like studying while

listening to music. I also enjoy exploring an
avatar virtual world that includes
background music as part of the experience.
 According to Field Independence…

I am a Field dependent learner:

• I am unable to separate figures from

background.
• I excel at remembering faces.
• I have trouble understanding visual cues, for
example, recognizing icons on a computer
screen.
• I enjoy the social aspects of learning.
• I easily get affected by criticisms, but try to
look at it in a positive angle.
• I am influenced by external feedbacks.
• I place emphasis on facts.
• I prefer learning through connections on my
own experience.
