Personal Statement: Tactile Learning

Growing up I never really had a problem when it came to learning. It did not matter what the subject was, I always found a way to learn it. You know at that time of my life, caring about ‘how’ I learned was of no care to me just as long as I received no less than high B as my grade. I recently taken a self-assessment to see what my primary learning style is and the results were unsurprising. At 30% auditory, 35% visual, and 35% for tactile, the self-assessment reveals that I am a Visual/Tactile learner. As a visual learner, I have to read the manual and see the object grasp what I need to know. I always had to open up some device, if it was broken, and find out why.

I recently taken a five factor personality test and acquired some interesting results: Openness to Experience/Intellect 47%, Conscientious 96%, Extraversion 12%, Agreeableness 22%, and Neuroticism 37%. I did not know that they were so many dimensions to an individual’s personality but I am interested in knowing more about myself, how I interact with the world around me, and why.

From the personality assessment, the strongest dimension of my personality is being conscientious. I have always been well-organized since preschool. I enjoy taking notes and getting in some good study time. I am currently designing a spreadsheet for work to minimize having to search through many folders to find the information you need by linking creating hyperlinks to one spreadsheet. I enjoy being relied upon at work, knowing you are the go-to guy to handle issues is a great feeling.

It also seems from the assessment that extraversion is my weakest point which there is no denying. I am a loner and as such prefer to just stay at home which is a problem since I am engaged and have three kids. I am a friendly person and will talk to people but I usually wait until someone initiates the

    Learning Styles Assessment Tactile Learners

    When I took the learning styles assessment it concluded that I am a tactile learner, which indicates that I comprehend by doing or touching. It is difficult for me to process information just by listening or reading, I would have to physically write it down over and over for it be imprinted into my brain. I use a lot of hand gesture while speaking because it helps me remember what the situation was about, and if I need to spell out a word I have to fingerspell it out in the air. Or if I’m trying to solve a math problem in my head, I would sometimes use my finger as a pen on my desk and solve it with my imagination. The assessment states that tactile learners use flashcards and arrange them into groups by relationship in order to absorb the…

    Midterm: Kiesthetic Learning System

Visually seeing how people doing a problem step by step demonstrates a visual learning system, but doing the problem on my own demonstrates the kinesthetic learning system.…
