Well What about the author of this page? What is his deal? How on earth does his brain work anyway... A most excellent question... To that end, I have subjected myself to multiple psychometric tests. Here's A quick look at where I stand on matters 'psychological': LSI- Learning Skills Inventory Breakdown:
Visual If you are a visual learner, you learn by reading or seeing pictures. You understand and remember things by sight. You can picture what you are learning in your head, and you learn best by using methods that are primarily visual. You like to see what you are learning. As a visual learner, you are usually neat and clean. You often close your eyes to visualize or remember something, and you will find something to watch if you become bored. You may have difficulty with spoken directions and may be easily distracted by sounds. You are attracted to color and to spoken language (like stories) that is rich in imagery. --from-- http://www.educationplanner.org/students/self-assessments/learning-styles.shtml MBPT: or Myers Briggs Personality Test using Jungian Archetypes: INTP Introverted iNtuitive Thinking Perceiving What the heck does that mean? http://www.16personalities.com/intp-personality http://www.personalitypage.com/INTP.html MI- Multiple Intelligences Breakdown: Linguistic 58% Logical-Mathematical 88% Visual-Spatial 75% Intrapersonal 56% Interpersonal 69% Musical 19% Bodily-Kinesthetic 42% Naturalistic 50% |
