Make use of school tools and agendas to be prepared for material to be delivered
I find that it would be useful for me to gain more ability to problem solve. This could even be useful in my planning, which will help me become stronger in two categories! This will give me the opportunity to "think outside the box" giving way to more creative ways of learning.
It would be of benefit for me to work on my flexibility. Although it's great to be organized and scheduled - with my lifestye I need to have room for the occasional "hiccups". If I continued to develop my skills further in this category, it would be a huge benefit for me to use these flexibility skills in the areas I already excel in.
I was surprised that this was one of my lowest marks in this test. Given that that the other tests indicate I benefit from oragnization, struture and planning I feel that adding in some traits from the visual spatial intelligence would help me create better notes and schedules by adding in charts, mind maps, color coded notes and graphic organizers!
Working in Small Groups Request Feedback After Assignments As an organizer, it would help for me to request feedback from my teachers on assignments so that I can plan to adjust my work accordingly to recieve better marks in weaker areas. Because of my above mentioned learning styles I feel that a small group would work in my favor. I would be able to help organize the flow of work in the group, and I could help teach other people in the group the material I already am familiar with.
Avoid Random presentations when possible As an organized verbal linguistic learner, taking part in a preentation that tackle topics in random order and jumps around in thoughts may be difficult for me to grab all the information that I should. When possible I should avoid this type of learning environment.
Make use of handouts Using handout I can create valuable chapter outlines and create review notes as reference points for myself. In addition I can highlight information making it easily acessible as the course progresses.
Conclusion Through this assignment Ive gained insight into myself in learning that I prefer environments that are structured, formal, organized. I enjoy engaging with material that is presented through lectures, reading, and writing. I work best in an environment at allows me to follow step-by step direction. Gripped with this knowledge I know that I will best excel in a class room that is engaged in lectures, group discussions, small groups and logical presentation teaching styles. The diagram above reflects class room environments that would be suit my learning styles.

That being said, working in a class room where the teaching styles follow random presentations or logical presentations may be more of a challenge for me. Being that I am an organizer in the personality spectrum I need a classroom that is planned, predictable and organized, I could see myself becoming a little overwhelmed by a random presentations. Furthermore - in a classroom where logical presentations are being made, I may have the same difficulty. In this type of learning environment teacher make use of time and sequence, which could touch a few areas of my organization self, however I feel that it would really stress me to use the thinker in me, pulling on theoretical, analytical and scientific part of me, which is still underdeveloped at this point. Putting forward the above mentioned strategies, in the right learning environments will allow me to become a more successful student.
