The results of my questionnaire were interesting.

After completing the first exercise I felt that the assessment was quite accurate. I am definitely a sequential learner and I am very visual in my learning styles, say it to me in pictures!  As others have posted it does vary in different contexts. Also as an adult answering the questions it is a little obvious the intent of each question and I had to be careful not to answer in a way that suited my preconceived ideas of self.

Although there may be debate around learning styles and their accuracy I feel it is better to engage in the intent of analysis and understanding than just fly blind. I feel it is a wonderful tool to use if my teaching style is failing certain students. I will need to cognisant of my lack of verbal skills and global picture awareness to ensure that I will be reaching the verbal and global students in my future classes. Important to look at how to be the best for all my students and to stretch myself beyond my own comfort zones. This is very much a strengths and weaknesses analysis for myself and my future students.
I look forward to discovering other methods of analysis.
