inventories

The Paragon Learning Style Inventory test showed that I was an introvert, sensate, a thinker, and a judger. I already knew that I was more of a thinker that a feeler but I havd always though of myself as an extroverted person. My highest score on the Multiple Intelligence Test was interpersonal. One test says I am an introvert and one says I am good at communicating and understanding others............ go figure. I also scored high in music and linguistic on the Multiple Intelligence Test. Knowing this allows me to understand better the ways to learn, and as a teacher, ways to teach to my students. Once I know how to learn using each style, it will help me better equip my students how they specifically can learn.

Comment by Dave Eveland on January 25, 2009 at 2:42pm: Knowing about the MIs and the LSs is one thing, being able to teach and be sensitive to them all the time - is an entirely other-worldly thing. Can you imagine - and some have done so - lesson planning in such a way that you include a facet for each of the varied MIs and LSs? We're going to be discussing and talking about how technology is intended to serve in a support role to good, solid lesson planning. Attempting to write in to every lesson - for a whole year's worth of lessons, every MI and LS is impossible, but being sensitive to them can be the make-or-break point for some students - esp. those have extremely high areas that differ from you own.
