Bixler Learning Style Inventory

Decent Essays
After performing the Bixler Learning Style Inventory, it was determined that I am an auditory learner. This finding is not shockingly surprising. I enjoy a good conversation, with an attentive ear, of course. I love listening to music and listening to others talk. I possess an outgoing personality to start and maintain a decent conversation. My weakness is my trouble with things being written down for me to follow instructions or directions. Like all auditory learners, I must be able to actually hear the assignment or instructions to fully comprehend the information. According to Kanar, I learn by hearing and listening (1995).
I tend to process information by first listening and then redoing the skill. I handle problem-solving and tasks by

    According to The Vark learning styles questionnaire the two learning styles that I learn best with best are aural and kinesthetic. Aural means I learn best when hearing the information spoken and by asking questions about the concept I am learning. The other way I learn best is being kinesthetic which means I use my five senses and hands on experiences to help me learn. The Aural side of me likes to remember stories, examples, and jokes, to be to relate them to the concept I am learning. I have found that I when attended class and really focus on what the instructor or professor is teaching I am able to grasp the concept that is being taught.…

    Video Analysis: Ted Talk

    1. Before watching this Ted Talk video, I did think I was a some what, decent listener. I believed this because during conversations, I always liked to truly understand what the other person is trying to communicate to me before I answer back or giving a reply -- which led me to believing I was a good listener. After watching it, I realized, and also am surprised, that my listening skills do need some revamping because I know I do not ever take some time to sit in silence and would never think this is a way to better your listening skills. I believe my listening skills impact my communication skills because many times I focus too much on how a message is being sent (tone) vs. what the message being sent is trying to communicate.…

    According to the Learning Styles Inventory. My most developed and strongest learning styles are bodily-kinesthetic, verbal-linguistic, musical, interpersonal, and intrapersonal. The test reveals that I am not highly developed in any particular type of intelligence and I am weak and underdeveloped in visual-spatial, logical-mathematical, and naturalist intelligences. The book suggests that as a person with stronger interpersonal strengths, study strategies such as going over notes with fellow students are helpful. Based on my results as a strong verbal-linguistic individual, rewriting my notes in order to eliminate excess information and to hone into the important ideas, would be beneficial to my success in this course.…

    Federalist Text Analysis

    • 2244 Words
    • 9 Pages

    Even though I have not finished reading “The Federalist Paper,” I still learn a lot about the foundation of American government and also about myself as a learner during the process. I know that I am more of a visual learner than an auditory learner, but I usually get bored really quickly whenever I read a long text that is full of information or does not have any pictures or graphs. So instead of reading “The Federalist Paper” in one go, I break it down into sections and then use a highlighter to highlight important facts and take notes as I go. These learning tips are not new, but I always find them helpful when I need to analyze the text later on. I also tend to get lost a lot when I read and end up skimming and skipping throughout the text.…

    Another weakness I face regularly is my preparation/ study skills for courses that are more abstract. People tell me that the best way to study is by making flash cards and go over them frequently beforehand. I do find this help, but with my busy schedule of taking three or four classes, work, track, and homework outside of all that, it is hard to find the time to write out every notecard needed for an exam. A need I hope to obtain this term is different techniques when reading and taking notes out of the textbook besides writing from word to word and every definition bolded. Along with that, I hope I can obtain a habit where I study little by little on a daily basis rather than cramming everything in with a couple days before an upcoming an…
