In Rogate class we were told to take two tests. One was by Gardner and the other was Gregorc. In the Gregorc test I found out that I was an abstract sequential learner. Now you all must be thinking: "What is an abstract sequential learner?" Don't worry because I'm going to tell you. An abstract sequential learner likes to think of problems in a logical matter. What makes sense to them is using exact, well-researched information, learning more by watching than doing, logical reasoning, a teacher who is an expert in his/her subject, the world of abstract ideas, and taking time to work through an issue thoroughly. So I learned that I in order for me to fully understand a concept I have to look at it logically. The Gardener intelligence test results say that I'm logical, mathematical. I learned that I am able to interpret logical situations. This can help me by knowing how to approach real life problems the best way I can.
My mom's learning style would probably be abstract random. This is because my mom likes to look at and make her own diagrams to understand new concepts. My mom likes to express to others what she learns. My mom's intelligence would most likely fall under the category of spatial. She likes to working and creating new creative puzzles, drawings and paintings when she has time.
I believe my dad's learning style would be abstract sequential because he talks only logic and only listens to logic. Plus my dad's intelligence would be logical, mathematical since he is great at mathematical problems. He also likes going to planetariums and science museums, as do I.
I think that if Steve Jobs took the Gregorc test then he would have gotten the concrete sequential group. This is because he had a huge imagination and risk takings when he developed Apple products. Plus he was intelligent and creative enough to design the actual creation. For the Gardner test I would believe he would have been in the linguistic or interpersonal category because he liked making speeches and bouncing off other people's ideas.
Bye for now! ^_^
