After taking this questionnaire I discovered that I am definately an active, sensing, visual, and sequential learner. I believe this to be right on! I am more of a hands on person when it comes to learning new concepts and techniques. I have always been an active person because if I sit for too long, I find it easier for me to become distracted. Being a sensing learner I like to know solid facts, I don't really like open ended questions. I am more of the right answer or wrong answer, or this is the wrong way and this is the right way kind of girl. Visual learning is by far my strongest learning style. I understand concepts much better if it is drawn out in a diagram so I can see how the information ties together to create one general point. Math has never been a strong point in my schooling career, but I have found when I take things step by step to try and solve the problem I have a better chance of getting it right; instead of starting from the solution and breaking it down. This explains why I am more of sequential learner.
After taking this quiz, it further encourages me that I am on the correct career path for me. I am a health and fitness major and I am interested in teaching high school health and fitness, and also hoping to do some coaching on the side. My typical day I will be on my feet, doing hands on activities, showing examples of techniques, and interacting with all types of people. This quiz didn't just benefit knowledge of myself, but it also helped me look a little closer at other types of learners. For example, if I am teaching my students how to shoot a free throw shot; some kids will get it just from me saying how to do it, others from me showing them, and others who must try it themselves to get the hang of it. I will have to be open minded to all of the types of learning styles that are present on this quiz because all the students I have will be different.
