Learning Styles
After taking these tests I realized the results were very similar to what I would have thought. Throughout my life I have always thought that I was a protagonist. I am I people person, I stand up when there is something to be stood up for, and I’m an excellent communicator. When it comes to the weaknesses there is only one that I feel fits me well. That being too selfless. The other ones I didn’t know about, but there are all some I feel that do not fit me well. Like having fluctuating self esteem or being too sensitive. When it comes to these I do not agree. But it was still interesting to learn more about not only the things i was unaware of, but read more about the ones I new. I enjoy how the site breaks it down and really explains it in detail. Within my romantic relationships, this quote explains everything “Protagonists don’t need much to be happy, just to know that their partner is happy, and for their partner to express that happiness through visible affection”. I have always felt like this is a weakness, but I read more and more into it and I now see that it is more of a strength. Taking genuine pleasure in getting to know other people.
The results that I received was that I was better with auditory and tactile learning. This surprised me because I have always thought that I was a visual person. I learn better if I can look at something, not if i am sitting in a class room being talked at. Knowing this, I haven’t really pursued any other areas or tried out other ways to learn. I just thought i learned best visually so thats how I studied. However, after taking this test, I may explore other ways of learning.
When it comes to my career choice I’m glad to see I’ve chosen one that suits me well. According to the test, the careers that most fit my personality are ones that involve helping people. While being able to express yourself creatively and honestly, you may find protagonist personalities in higher management jobs. Within the war place we are quick learners and excellent multitaskers, hardworking, reliable and eager to help.
Emotionally it said that I was OK. I based a lot of decisions off of my emotions and became deeply involved in situations and people quickly, which is true. It was listed as a negative and a positive though because the reason I do this is I like to succeed through others. So by helping you reach your goals and caring for you I feel good about myself. But on the downside, this can be overwhelming for many people. It can be a lot really fast and then they push away, after I have so much investment in them emotionally. All of this in which I completely agree.
This test has taught me a few things about myself, but most was already known. However, I will not let this test affect how I live my life and the choices I make because you can do anything that you set your mind to. A short term goal that I would like to set for myself in this class is situational thinking and group work. Most of the time I automatically step into the leadership role and sometimes I need to step back and take the back seat for awhile.
