What the
Assessment Says
About Where I
Am
My strongest
intelligence seems
to be:
Logical /
Mathematical
Learning
Strategies
Associated with
the Style That
Best Fits Me
- Making charts
and graphs.
- Classify and
categorize my
notes according to
importance to stay
on task.
My strongest
intelligence seems
to be:
- Find a quiet
space that is
distraction free.
Intrapersonal
- Keep personal
note along with
class material.
How Online
Education Fits My
Style
How Online
Education Differs
from My Style
- I can develop
systems and
patterns to
organize my work
logically.
- Moving out of
my comfort zone
might be harder
because it
suggests I find
others to discuss
with, but in an
online course this
could be quite
challenging over
the internet.
- I can also create
spreadsheets to
stay organized and
programs to help
with problem
solving.
- Relate new
information to
personal
experience and
find a deeper
meaning.
- Use software to
find other
methods of
learning like
videos for
example.
My strongest
intelligence seems
to be:
- Draw pictures to
represent key
concepts.
Visual
- Draw diagrams
alongside class
material to help
remember ideas
and labels.
- Take advantage
of visuals online.
- Use drawing and
charting software.
- Use colour when
typing.
- Members in a
group are usually
undervalued, and
to move out of my
comfort zone I
should seek
others. But finding
others to group up
with could be
difficult over the
internet.
- With most notes
being electronic it
can be difficult to
input diagrams or
pictures.
I’m not so strong
in the intelligence
associated with:
- Acting out
concepts wouldn’t
be my best
studying method
- Recording notes,
moving while
studying, and
designing games
would not fit my
learning style
- This being my
worst learning
style is beneficial
for online studying
because
incorporating
movement while
being online can
be a real
challenge.
- Solving Problems
- Give myself time
to think things
over and prepare.
- Thinkers need
time to think
questions over
and analyse it. This
can cause missed
deadlines and
unnecessary
stress.
Body /
Kinaesthetic
Personality
Spectrum
My highest score
is in:
Thinker
My Lowest score is
in:
Adventurer
- Developing
models and
systems
- Analytical and
abstract thinking
- Have a reason for
everything, and
understand the
benefits.
- Jumping into
learning and being
spontaneous
aren’t my strong
points.
- Trying things out
and reflecting
would not be ideal
studying methods
for my Spectrum.
- Being an
adventurer would
not be ideal for
online courses.
Having to try
things out and
participate in
discussions can be
much harder to do
while taking
courses online.
After taking the Personality Spectrum and the Multiple Intelligences/Multiple Pathways
to learning quizzes I can better understand the best methods to enhance my learning and
studying in an online environment. Five ways to better my online learning experience would
be: creating a logical organizing system, creating charts and graphs, giving myself plenty of time
for assignments, having a reason to study and complete projects, and using online software to
solve problems. Logically organizing notes and assignments is a great way for me to be
successful in an online setting. I can stay on top of work and guarantee assignments get handed
in on time. Making sure I do not miss assignments will greatly increase my chances in
completing the course successfully. Another studying technique I could use is the creation of
graphs and charts. I can better understand information by analysing these visual
representations and relating them to problems when trying to prepare for tests. Motivation is
very important to a “Thinker”, I need to have a reason to complete tasks and assignments but
luckily enough the motivation to achieve high grades and acquire my certificate and degree is
enough. Lastly, because on the online nature of the course I can use and or find other software
to help with me problem solving. Whether it be graphing or organizing software it can all be
beneficial when used to complete online work. Using all of these methods of studying and
problem solving will better my odds to succeed in any online programs I take in the future.
