Is This Really My Style of Learning?




I think not.

Firstly, I shall say why I think generally this test cannot be used as evidence about learning styles. Most people tell themselves " ok, I will do this truthfully", but when they come to awkward questions, they will cheat a bit because they are worried of looking stupid. Those who have big egos, will just answer "I am always like this" for almost every question. And the "heck-care-er" will just select one option for the entire quiz.

I think that this quiz could be replaced with a test of sorts, where students have to answer questions related to the category, like "pick out the different type of instruments being played in this musical piece". It is one possibility

Now, moving on to my personal opinion. As you can see, the quiz tells me that I am people smart and not smart about myself. This is false. Just because I understand the way people do things and I like group work, that does not mean that I like being with a lot of people. That also does not mean that I am Gregorius.

Just because I can memorise and remember the names of certain wild life, does not mean that I love nature as much as I love doing Maths, or studying language, too. Hence all in all, i feel that this is a rather poor way of finding out about my learning style, hence I feel the quiz makers should come up with better questions
