QUESTIONAIRE ON MY PIZZA & LEARNING STYLES

WHAT´S YOUR LEARNING STYLE?

I made two tests in order to know what my learning style was and curiously, my results in each of them were different!

According to the Education Planner website, I´m a visual learner, that means I learn by reading or seeing pictures and I understand and remember things by sight (this is completely right!).

I can picture what I am learning in my head and I like to see what I am learning as well. As a visual learner I am usually neat and clean and I often close my eyes to visualize or remember something (well, I don´t completely close them but it´s true that I don´t keep them fully opened) They also say that I will find something to watch if I become bored (my mobile phone most of the time, hahaha).

I may have difficulty with spoken directions and may be easily distracted by sounds (they got it completely right!).

And finally, I am attracted to colour and spoken language, like stories, that are rich in imagery (it´s true… I easily get bored by reading, I prefer watching!).

On the other hand, according to the BGfL website I am much more an intrapersonal, interpersonal, kinaesthetic and naturalistic learner than a visual one! This is my multiple intelligences pizza:

As an intrapersonal learner, I know about myself, my strengths and weaknesses and I will probably keep a diary (the first things are true but I don´t have a diary any more, I used to write about my daily life when I was a child).

As an interpersonal learner, I´m people smart and I like to mix with other people, play in team games and share (That´s kind of true).

As a kinaesthetic learner, I´m body smart. I enjoy sports and I´m good at swimming, athletics, gymnastics and other sports. (I need to recognise I like sports now but I used to hate them! So, I don´t agree that much on this description).

And finally as a naturalistic learner, I like the world of plants and animals and enjoy learning about them (they got it completely wrong… Take me out of the city, and I´ll be lost!).

So, all in all I guess the Education Planner website was more accurate describing me than BGfL. Now take the test yourselves and check your learning style!

These are the webpages I used:

I´m definitely a visual learner, what about you? :)
