NAME: pedro pedro | COMPLETED: 04/11/2012

If learning is fundamental to everything we do, then understanding one's unique learning style is

fundamental to learning. The principled action that exemplifies individuals' success is recognizing,

understanding, appreciating and, most importantly, valuing the diversity of learning, thinking, and

working styles. Self-awareness of one's learning strengths and productivity preferences provides

an illuminating perspective that may enrich one's personal and professional well being. When the

unique characteristics possessed by others are valued, a positive shift in attitude often ensues.

BE provides you with a personalized report that includes a one-page overview, a brief summary

overview, detailed narrative descriptions and recommended strategies. When strategies are

implemented, the following benefits may take place: (a) reduced anxiety and stress; (b) individual

responsibility for learning; (c) improved learning attitudes; d) enhanced self-leadership; (e)

strengthened communication; and (f) improved performance in educational and work-based

learning environments.

Auditory VerbalLess Auditory Verbal More Auditory Verbal

Moderate...More Auditory Verbal

 You have a MODERATE preference for learning new and difficult information by expressing yourself to others or aloud to yourself such as

discussing a subject you are learning or information presented during a meeting or a lecture. This is one of your strengths; exercise it

much of the time. You remember best when you talk about new material or topics that are presented during meetings and lectures. By

listening first and then verbalizing, you are able to integrate information into terms that are personally meaningful. In essence, you make

connections and remember more when you think aloud. When you are actively involved in a discussion or you think aloud, you find

yourself answering your own questions. You probably find yourself saying, "Aha-now I get it" or, "So that's what that means!" To

synthesize the information, you tend to ask questions to clarify for meaning.

BE Recommended Strategies

• Be aware of time management. Your need for continuous discussion may interfere with others learning needs. Arrange to meet with

others to clarify your questions at a mutually convenient time.

• Read material in advance and, whenever possible, read it aloud to insure that you retain more.

• Listen to discussions, ask questions, and talk about what you are learning or about the project in which you are involved. Ask for

examples and then take time to synthesize the information.

• Be aware of how sidebar conversations that you engage in during meetings and classes distract others.

BE Descriptions of Your Strengths and Preferences

Analytic / GlobalAnalytic Integrated Global

Integrated...Analytic / Global

 You are centered between the analytic and global preferences and tend to process information using an INTEGRATED approach.

Integrated information processors can assimilate and process new information using either Analytic or Global qualities simultaneously.

 This means that when you are assimilating new information, you use both preferences and you see both viewpoints more quickly.

Because of this, you often take on the role of an interpreter. For example: when an analytic and global are discussing information, it often

sounds like the individuals are speaking two different languages. When this occurs, you ask yourself, aren't they both saying the same

thing, just saying it differently? Because of your ability to use the analytic and global qualities interchangeably, you can help break the

"language" barrier by interpreting what you think is being said. This will help people move toward an agreeable understanding, which

reduces conflict and misunderstandings.

BE Recommended Strategies

• Be observant in meetings, presentations, and learning environments. When the timing is right, interpret what you hear the analytic

and global sides saying. This will help clarify the point for everyone.

• Observe how you switch from global to analytic and analytic to global. Understanding this will help you progress from a natural

process to a developed skill.

• Consciously prepare presentations using both global and analytic approaches: tell them what you are going to tell them, tell them,

tell them what you told them global, analytic, global and analytic.

Reflective / ImpulsiveReflective Impulsive

Moderate...Reflective

 You have a MODERATE Reflective preference. This means that you prefer to think about and weigh all your options before making a final

decision. Like analytic and global, the brain possesses both reflective and impulsive qualities. Your highest quality thinking occurs when

you have time to think things through. Taking time to reflect not only improves how you understand and remember new information, it

increases the quality of your decisions. While you may not be the first to participate in meetings or group discussions, you have well

developed opinions and are willing to offer your input once the pieces fit together and make sense to you. Be aware that when you think

and analyze too much, "analysis/paralysis" often occurs. Consider whether shyness rather than the need to be reflective influence your

reflective preference. If so, focus on self-development to help you overcome your shyness.

BE Recommended Strategies

• Explore all of the options before making important decisions and solving complex problems. Avoid being forced to make decisions too

quickly.

• Make a list of the pros and cons before making complex decisions or solving difficult problems.

• Identify the smaller parts of a decision first, and then build toward the final decision.

• Avoid 'analysis-paralysis.' Check with your impulsive counterpart for a different point of view, think about it, and then decide.

BE Descriptions of Your Strengths and Preferences

SoundQuiet Sound

Strong...Quiet

 You have a STRONG preference for Quiet when concentrating or learning new information. This means you are most productive when

your immediate surroundings are free from distractions like people around you talking or the radio playing. Too much sound has a

dramatic influence on your ability to concentrate and stay alert. Your sensitivity to sound often means you can hear a pin drop. The more

difficulty you have blocking out background sound, the more frustrated you become with distractions, at which point stress intensifies,

and motivation diminishes. While humans are adaptive, understand that your preference for quiet is a biological need and not one that

you can simply snap your fingers and change. When there is a mismatch between your needs and your immediate surroundings when you

are concentrating, it may take longer to accomplish the task. If you are doing routine work, the distraction of sound may not affect you as

much.

BE Recommended Strategies

• Reduce stress by walking around from time-to-time when you are unable to work or study in a quiet place.

• Ask that music be kept to a minimum in your immediate surroundings. Suggest that people who have a need for sound wear

headphones.

• Use headphones to block out the distractions around you.

• Ask to work in an available conference room or empty office during those critical times when you need to concentrate without

distractions. You will definitely accomplish more in a shorter time period.

SeatingInformal Seating Formal Seating

Moderate...Formal Seating

 You have a MODERATE preference for Formal Seating arrangements when concentrating on difficult tasks and learning new things.

Formal Seating includes sitting at a desk or sitting at a library table. Most of the time you concentrate better and for longer time periods

when you sit at a desk with a straight-backed chair. When you accommodate your biological need for a more formal seating arrangement,

productivity increases and achievement improves because you can stay focused longer, thereby completing tasks more effectively and

efficiently.

BE Recommended Strategies

• Work and study at a desk or table with a firm straight-backed chair.

• Select a hardwood or plastic chair to sit in, especially when the task requires your undivided attention.

• Place a solid floor mat under your chair to provide more stability.

MobilityLess Mobility More Mobility

Strong...Less Mobility

 You have a STRONG preference for less Mobility. You definitely prefer to stay in one place while you concentrate on tasks or study. When

the resources needed to complete a task are within reach, you are able to stay in one place, which helps you stay focused. Once you

have the information you need, you tend to re-focus your attention only after you have stopped moving around. Albert Einstein created

what he called the distraction index; he used it as a guideline to help him stay focused on whatever he was doing for up to 42 minutes.

 Therefore, regardless of whether you prefer to stay in one place for long periods, it is important to get up and move around every 42

minutes or so. This is especially true when you are stuck and are unable to move forward. Productivity and retention of new knowledge

improve when you pay attention to your physical (biological) need for less mobility.

BE Recommended Strategies

• Bear in mind that you tend to be more productive when you stay in one place. Therefore, keep resources or study material within

reach whenever possible.

• Get up from your sitting position and walk around from time-to-time.

• Move your hands and arms when you stand up to provide some exercise for your sedentary preference.

• If you are a kinesthetic learner, determine whether walking while you are reading helps or hinders your ability to stay focused.

Task PersistenceMulti-Task Persistent Single-Task Persistent

Moderate...Single-Task Persistent

 You have a MODERATE preference for being Single-Task oriented. You usually are most productive when you are able to complete one

task before beginning another one. When you take this approach, you are more productive and complete tasks more efficiently. Please

note that you may be quite capable of working on several tasks simultaneously. However, this is not your most productive way of working

or studying. The quality of your work improves when you use your single task preference. When you have too many tasks to juggle, you

may become overwhelmed and frustrated, which then leads to decreased motivation. It is important to recognize and value the fact that

both single- and multiple-task approaches are equally productive.

BE Recommended Strategies

• Accommodate your preference whenever possible by completing one task before moving on to the next one. Focus on one task at a

time to insure that you produce higher quality work and remain motivated.

• Set practical time frames in which to complete tasks at work and assignments in school.

• Determine how much you have to juggle, and then advocate for a reasonable timeframe within which to prioritize and complete the

tasks.

• Choose the most important task and complete it first, especially when you are working on a number of tasks at the same time. Be

aware of time management you can be too focused on one task and forget about the others.

BE Descriptions of Your Strengths and Preferences

ConformityLess Conforming More Conforming

Moderate...Less Conforming

 You have a MODERATE preference toward being Less Conforming. You usually prefer to complete work tasks and school assignments the

way you think they could be done based on your experiences. Traditionally, a less conforming preference suggests a tendency to reject

social pressures to conform as well as a tendency to react negatively to the external pressures. Within the context of learning,

achievement, and performance however, nonconformity takes on a different meaning. You tend to trust your insight and intuition and you

prefer the challenge of finding solutions without being told "what" to do and "how" to do it. When taken to the extreme, less conforming

behavior is often seen as a form of rebellion, which can close doors to new ideas and decrease the opportunity for open dialogue.

Conformity is a learned behavior that can be modified over time. A less conforming approach is not better than a more conforming

approach; they are simply different.

BE Recommended Strategies

• Challenge the status quo respectfully and agree to disagree. Viewing a situation from a different perspective leads to less conflict and

improved working relationships.

• Take time to listen to other viewpoints, which leads to a greater understanding that there may be more than one way to accomplish a

task.

• Balance the intuitive sense and logical reasoning before taking action.

• Engage your intuitive sense (gut level feelings). Make certain that your record of success based on the influence of intuition is high,

and then advocate respectfully for your sense for knowing.

StructureLess Structure More Structure

Moderate...Less Structure

 You have a MODERATE preference toward having Less Structure. You usually prefer to complete tasks according to the methods and

procedures created by you rather than those created by someone else. You often prefer direction from managers/superiors/teachers/peers

on a much broader scale rather than following the methodical procedures they set forth. It is also worth noting that although you prefer to

be self-structured, it does not mean that you would not benefit from a little structure from others. People with a preference for processing

information analytically sometimes wonder why they may also prefer less structure. Remember that analytic processing refers to how

individuals understand and remember the information being presented and structure refers to whether you are more productive when

you create your own structure or follow the structure provided by others.

BE Recommended Strategies

• Set deadlines, milestones, and budgetary restrictions. Develop a balance between your desire to be self-structured and the reality of 

external directions. Clarify which parts of a project are flexible and which parts need to be done in certain ways.

• Network with others who have done similar tasks and follow the suggestions that lead to success.

• Establish your own work process for how best to achieve a task most productively.

• Engage others regarding direction and procedures. This can help you gain a different perspective on how you are completing tasks,

and help insure that you have not missed anything.

BE Descriptions of Your Strengths and Preferences

AloneAlone Less Preferred Alone More Preferred

Strong...Alone More Preferred

 You have a STRONG preference for working Alone. Even though you value working with others, you frequently are more productive

completing tasks when you work Alone. Your desire to work alone could be your preference for a quiet environment or your need to be

reflective. It is also worth noting that personalities come into play in teamwork. When you do not like working or studying with a particular

person, your preference is to work alone. The key to success is to understand first the importance of the task and then determine the

most appropriate approach for accomplishing the task.

BE Recommended Strategies

• Volunteer to complete tasks that you can accomplish on your own and then come back and work with the your team members.

• Work in situations that are opposite to your preference for self-development purposes.

AuthorityLess Authority More Authority

Moderate...Less Authority

 You have a MODERATE preference toward having Less Authority present. You prefer to complete tasks and learn when people in

positions of authority, such as superiors/teachers, are available only when needed. You do not like to be micro-managed (someone looking

over your shoulder) when working on a task or school assignment. If you do not like or respect the person with whom you are working,

you may be uncooperative. While you like collaborating with people who are credible in their field of expertise, you are less responsive to

people who are more directive and autocratic. Consequently, you usually are more productive when you receive some guidelines and can

then work independently from your superior/teacher.

BE Recommended Strategies

• Request tasks that require you to work independently from people in positions of authority.

• Do not disregard people in positions of authority. Recognize that they can offer different perspectives and provide insights based on

their experiences.

• Gain the trust of your superior/teachers by insuring that they see your capability of progressing with less input.

• Demonstrate that you are responsible and accountable for your actions.

VarietyLess Variety More Variety

Moderate...Less Variety

 You have a MODERATE preference for Less Variety. You prefer variety less frequently and you are most productive doing things in the

old tried and true fashion. Because we are adaptive organisms, you can adjust to change. However given a choice, you are more

productive when you focus on routine work rather than tasks that require variety in your routine. You are less comfortable when people

continually ask you to change your preferred way of doing things. Do you ever say to yourself, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

BE Recommended Strategies

• Recognize that change can be positive. Meet the challenge of change by determining the importance of the change and then

responding accordingly.

• Identify the steps required to complete the needed change and approach it one step one at a time.
