I just took the Gardner and Gregorc learning styles tests
and I think that they were completely wrong. For the Gardner test, it says that
I am Logical-Mathematical (which I do agree with) and Interpersonal (which I
don’t agree with). I think that I would be more on the Intrapersonal side. On
the Gregorc test, I scored a solid 24 on concrete random, but don’t think that
is like me at all. If I had to pick one to describe me, I would either be
Concrete Sequential or Abstract Sequential, but none of them really describes
me. I would have to take a few traits from each to truly explain who I am.
Therefore, I don’t think I learned anything about myself, besides the fact that
I don’t fit into any category. I am my own, unique person. I don’t feel that
this knowledge will really help me in school. I feel that the way I am learning
now is fine and the only thing that could make me learn more was if I started
studying which I find really boring and I don’t plan on doing unless absolutely
necessary. I think my favorite way of learning is to sit in a desk and read the
material. I don’t need to build things, to move around, or take notes. I have
an amazing memory so I sit down, read what I need to know, and then just
remember it. All I think this test did for me in school is to make 20 minutes a
little more entertaining.
One
person that I admire is my father, and I can almost guarantee that he was a
Logical-Mathematical on the Gardner test and Abstract Sequential on the Gregorc
test. I think this because he is a very serious person and tries to stick to
the facts. I also admire my mother, and I am pretty confident she is Abstract
Random, Intrapersonal, and Musical. I think this because she was a singer,
dancer, and she played an instrument. She is a very creative person. The last person that I admire is my grandpa,
and I think he would be Spatial, Bodily-Kinesthetic, and Abstract Sequential. This is because he learns by actually doing
it, not listening about it.
In
conclusion, I feel that these tests were a waste of time and did not teach me
anything.
