Take this assessment and let me know the areas where you are strongest via comments at the bottom of this entry.
* in your comment be sure to explain if you think this is a correct assessment of your strengths as a learner and then justify it by one specific example from school or your life.
Well, my outcome of this assesment seems to fit me just perfectly. I'm guessing most people would view me as this type of person also. My number one strength is
ReplyDeleteSocial: You like to develop ideas and learn from other people. You like to talk. You have good social skills. Effective techniques of enhancing your learning using your social intelligence include taking part in group discussions or discussing a topic one-to-one with another person. Find ways to build reading and writing exercises into your group activities, such as:
Reading a dialogue or a play with other people
Doing team learning/investigating projects
Setting up interview questions and interviewing your family, and writing down the interview
Writing notes to another instead of talking.
I think this fits me just perfectly. I am not afraid to talk to anyone. I think one example thats perfect is how i took my CNA class. I took this class at the college and I didn't take it with anyone I know. I didn't know one person in the class and the class is all about group work. Even though I didn't know anyone at the begining I made many friends and wasn't afraid to talk to them and speak up in class.
My strong area was body movement, in other words I hate sitting still. I do believe this is a correct assessment of my strengths as a learner. One example of my strength of body movement for me in my life, is that I like sports and i have good motor skills. To help me learn in school i think i personally need to be engaged to learn or benefit from the lesson.
ReplyDeleteMy top strength was body movement. Which means I am an active learner and I think that is completely true. If I involved in a project or an assignment then I learn and retain what I learned better than just sitting listening to someone talk or go over a powerpoint. My second and third were social and self. I think that is also true because I like talking and being around others most of the time and I work well in groups, but then I do also like being on my own and not having to depend on others for what I have to get done.
ReplyDeleteMy top score was also body movement. I believe this is a correct assessment of me. I noticed that I enjoy learning and learn best when something is hands on. I dont enjoy looking in a book and then taking a test. The best example for me is working on cars. I dont look in a book to tell me how to do something. I remember what it looked like before I took it apart, or I learn from someone else showing me what to do.
ReplyDeleteI find that this survey is very accurate. My top strength was Social. It says that I like to develop ideas, learn from other people, and that I have good social skills. Effective techniques to enhance my learning using my social skills include taking part in group discussions, discussing topics one on one with another person, and doing team investigating projects. My second strongest area was Musical, saying that I enjoy the rhythm and sound of language. It says that I remember things well when they are associated with music. To incorporate sounds into my learning, it says to use music as background noise while reviewing and for helping to remember new material, and also to read lyrics to music. My third strongest area was Language. It says that I enjoy saying, hearing and seeing words, that I like to tell stories, and that I am motivated by books and opportunities for writing. To enhance this into my learning, it says to write down reflections on what I have read, and explore and develop my love of word such as looking up the meaning, origin, idioms, and names. I for sure think that this is a correct assessment of my strengths as a learner and an example of this would be how it says that I am motivated by books and opportunities for writing.
ReplyDeleteMy three top areas were Social, Body Movement, and Musical. I believe this does fit me quite well. I learn best when engaged with other students. I like to have class discussions and learn from what other students have to say. I also work well in groups. These are all things that the assessment says are good techniques to learn socially. Body Movement is also something that I scored strongly in. My best example of this is on the farm. My boss doesn't toss me the manuel and tell me to read it before driving the chisel plow. He puts me in the drivers seat and shows me how to operate it on the fly.This is how I have learned to us all the machinery on the farm, from the push mowers to the semis. My Third highest score was in the Musical category. I have music in my life at some point every day. I usually listen to music when I study. The assessment said this is a good way to incorporate my musical strengths. And it also helps in learning newly introduced information when going over it with background music.
ReplyDeleteMy top strength was Spatial: You remember things visually, including exact sizes and shapes of objects. You like posters, charts, and graphics. You like any kind of visual clues. You enjoy drawing. Effective techniques of enhancing your learning using your spatial intelligence include creating and/or using pictures, maps, diagrams, and graphs as you learn things.
ReplyDeleteI know I am a very visual person because I remember things the best that way. In Geography, the map tests were so easy because I only needed to look up everything once and I knew where it was. I am also good at drawing which is probobly because I remember details of what things look like.
My next two strengths were social and musical. I agree with those because I learn a lot just from listening to others and discussing things in class. I also really enjoy music so anything that pertains to it is easy for me to remember since it is something I enjoy.
my top skill was body movement, then logic/math, adn last social. For the most part i find these accurate. I'd say I"m probably more math and logic than body movement but body movement wul be second and they were really close in score. I agree with these because in my science classes we are always doing hands on expierements and i find it really easy to learn the concepts whe we do theexpierments. I also agree with the logic and math strength because I easly learn in all my math classes and also in physics. I am able to usaully get theough them with ease and i am always tryng to find the logical way to do things in real life. for the most part this is a really acurate assesment i would just have to switch my one nd two around but thats not too big of a deal.
ReplyDeleteMy top three strengths were self, social, and musical. Even though the first two are kind of contradictory, I can mostly agree. I agree that I like to hear things from other people, go and mull it over by myself, and then come back to the person and give them my response. I like time to think things out on my own before I have to give a final answer. But I don't always like working on projects alone and I definitely don't prefer trial and error. Music fits because I like to incorporate that into my learning. I have music on whenever I can, I use it to help me remember things, and I use little songs or rhymes to help me on tests. In many of my social classes where I have tests that rely mostly on memory, I replace test answers in the words of a song, or have a song playing that will trigger my memory. And social, of course, fits because I like to talk. I like to be around and interact with other people, and I thrive on discussion. I enjoy classes that I am allowed to talk and voice my opinions in. That's why most of my english classes have been my favorites. As long as I get to talk a lot :)
ReplyDeleteMy top three learning strengths were musical, social, and kinetic. I think that's really accurate as I love music, being active and being involved with other people. I think that talking to people is one of my strong suits and I always remember musical things alot better if I learn them in a rythym or a song. If I can apply something like math or english to music I remeber it better. Also I love being involved with other people so the social aspect makes alot of sense. When I am hands on involved in a project I usually feel like I am learning and contributing more so that makes alot of sense to.

My results started with one of the biggest and most important parts of my life; music. This I find to be very accurate as I listen to music as frequently as possible and love learning new music and exploring the different genres.
ReplyDeleteThe second part of my results said that I have social skills, which I agree with as well. I love the social aspects of everything I do. Communicating with others and keeping in touch with the world is where I feel i thrive the most. I love to be around people and be in social situations.
The last part of my results said I like linguistic learning which I also agree with. I love learning new words, learning how to use them. I think this is evident in my love for writing and music. In writing, I can use any words I want to create a masterpiece of my own. The reason my passion for music is so strong is listening to the different lyrics and the ways different composers piece them together to create a song.
Overall I thought this assessment was pretty accurate and did a great job of describing my skills.
My top three strengths are body movement, musical, and self. I didn't know how accurate this assessment would be at first, but now I've come to the conclusion it is pretty accurate. I'm a very active person so body movement made sense. I would have been surprised if music wasn't at the top because it is a big part of my life. It seems I'm always either listening to music or creating it myself. I'll even use rhythms to remember certain things in school as an example. Finally the strength of self made sense because after I am taught something, I like to go over it again by myself in peace and quiet. I do better that way then with a lot of people around me.

My top strengths include spatial, musical and social.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't surprised to learn that my top strength is spatial. The description is pretty much spot on which is pretty interesting: "You remember things visually, including exact sizes and shapes of objects. You like posters, charts, and graphics. You like any kind of visual clues. You enjoy drawing." I've always known I was a very visual person, I respond most to visual things just as the description mentions.
My second strongest strength is musical, which really surprised me. While I enjoy music (listening, playing, etc.) I never considered it one of my strengths, just an interest. After considering the description, I realized that it was actually surprising accurate: "You like the rhythm and sound of language. You like poems, songs, and jingles. You enjoy humming or singing along with music. You probably remember things well when they are associated with music or rhythm."
I've always been able to remember when or where I heard a particular song for the first time (an unusual party trick, haha) and I always associate a song with a certain time in my life.
Lastly, my third strongest strength is social. I'm not entirely sure I agree with this result, as it describes me as: "You like to develop ideas and learn from other people. You like to talk. You have good social skills." Haha, not so much. While I DO like learning from others and developing new ideas, I don't consider myself having the greatest social skills and I don't really like to talk, as strange as that may sound . . .
