The results of the learning style inventory that I took for the most part turned out the way I thought. I feel that my learning style represents a very visual, solitary style approach. I am the type of person that has to see things to help me study. I cannot just listen to the professor, write down some notes, and grasp the concept right away. I always do better comprehending things with pictures. If I can see something, I am much better at remembering the visual and using that to help me understand things. That is why it was surprising to me that I only scored a seven out of twenty on the visual category. I would definitely say that I am a visual learner and would have thought I would have scored higher on that part. I think that my visual should have been a lot higher in comparison to my verbal. When a teacher goes on and on lecturing about a particular topic, I lose interest and do not comprehend it as well and lecturing and using a visual. I also prefer to study by myself and do things alone. I am never very good at studying with groups. I would prefer to study by myself. When other people are around me when I am trying to study I get distracted and cannot concentrate. I also do not like doing group projects. It seems like I am always the one that ends up doing all the work so it is just better if I worked alone anyway. So it is no shock to me that I scored a sixteen on the solitary portion of the test. I scored the highest on the logical and aural portion of the test. That also comes as no surprise to me because I am a very logical person. I believe that I have a very logical style of learning. I understand things better when I hear them, as oppose to reading them from a textbook, or etc. I do not do well with reading comprehension so it is better for me to hear things than reading them.
I think that these results are pretty accurate. I believe that the visual portion might be a little low, because I definitely consider myself more of a visual learning. However for the most part I think this test accurately described my learning style.
