Personality Type

I believe that some people learn better by conversing in learning communities, while others learn better by traditional instruction. Some people even learn best by themselves. In my opinion, a person can learn one way with one subject matter, and learn better another way with a different subject matter. Based on my own personal experience, as well as my experience with children, I have found that children can learn many different ways.

I think students definitely have different learning styles based on their personality types. As I stated above, students' learning preferences may change as the subject matter changes. According to the personality test that I just completed, I strongly believe that it will help for me to get to know my students better. In order to do this, I might give them a personality test similar to the one I took. Based on the results, I can tailor my teaching manner to the majority of the class, while still considering the other students' learning preferences.
