Reflective Log #3

The results of my learning style were 67% Linguistic, 56% Logical-Mathematical, 42%

Visual-Spatial, 44% Intrapersonal, 38% Interpersonal, 44% Musical, 25% Bodily-Kinesthetic,

and 33% Naturalistic. I was moderately surprised at the results because I expected my Logical-

Mathematical percentage to be the greatest. I did, however, expect my Bodily-Kinesthetic and

Naturalistic percentages to be the lowest. I have actually had prior knowledge of these different

learning styles before from AP Psychology, but several of the learning styles were new to me,

such as Linguistic, Musical, and Naturalistic. After reading the description for the Verbal-

Linguistic learning style, I feel that the results of the quiz labeled me correctly. Ever since I was

young, I have always been enthusiastic about writing and reading stories. Although I may be

majoring in chemical engineering, I still harbor interest in the art of storytelling, and I am very

fond of reading novels. I am not as skilled when it comes to other art forms such as painting,

music, and dance, but writing is something I have always had a passion for (though I do not

engage it in as often as I would like to.)

I am not surprised that Logical-Mathematical comprises more than half of my overall

learning style. I have done well in the majority of the math and science courses I have taken

throughout my education, and I am currently on track to becoming an engineer. Also, I am an

avid chess player. Chess involves significant logical reasoning, pattern recognition, and visual-

spatial skills. I enjoy playing chess as well as solving chess problems in which I exercise the

Logical-Mathematical and Visual-Spatial faculties of my mind.

When it comes to more intrapersonal and interpersonal learning, I agree with the quiz

results that I am weighted more toward intrapersonal learning than interpersonal learning. While

I am not exactly the loner type, I do find that I prefer to study and learn by myself as opposed

to studying in groups. I like to study alone in quiet but comfortable environments, which is the

studying tip for intrapersonal learners. I dont always like to give/receive feedback, but I do

recognize the value in doing so. If I know that working with a group will benefit me, then I will

do so, even if it is not what I prefer to do.

I believe that my learning style hasaffected my success as a student. Because of my

tendency for Logical-Mathematical and Linguistic learning, I have an affinity for math, science,

and writing. My learning style also has significant influence on the type of career path that I am

geared towards, i.e., engineering. However, my learning style also means that I am weaker in

certain fields, such as music, dancing, acting, and leadership.
