There are certain emotions that you can easily identify simply by noting the way your body reacts on a physiological level. These emotions have become familiar to you because you have been able to make a connection between the feeling itself and your body's response. However, there are still some emotions, typically the more complex ones that you struggle to identify.
Personality Assessment:

| Your score indicates that you generally possess characteristics of Mildness rather than Roughness ones. Roughness entails Contestation, Toughness and Aggressiveness whereas Mildness involves Resignation, Smoothness and Harmony. Those who score high on Roughness are basically noncompliant with prevailing rules and established authorities. In cases of conflict, they fight rather than submit themselves. In their attitudes and words, they are often rude and uncouth, unaware of people's sensitivity and reactions. They find it hard to be polite and civilized. To them, good manners belong to a social code of conduct with which they painfully comply. Their anger is quick to trigger and may result in violent language and behavior. People with this trait can be hard to live with. Those who score high on Mildness are conciliatory people with whom it is easy to negotiate. They might agree with very demanding conditions rather than eagerly defend their interests or point of view. In a meeting, they will rarely raise objections. Their tactful behavior makes them model employees and citizens. They may contribute more than their share to maintain the harmony of a couple or a family. When the atmosphere is tense, their calmness and patience brings peace back. Their kindness is radiant. |
Learning Styles Assessments:
These are the various combinations of the four preferences below. If your VARK Profile is for Visual and Kinesthetic (VK) you will need to use those two descriptions and key words in the strategies below.
Keep in mind that some people with a multimodal preference need to have the same material presented in several of their modes in order to really learn it, while others can effectively learn using any single one of their multiple preferences.
You have a multimodal learning preference.
Your scores were:
Visual-13
This preference uses symbolism and different formats, fonts and colors to emphasize important points. It does not include video and pictures that show real images and it is not visual merely because it is shown on a screen.
If you have a strong Visual preference for learning you should use some or all of the following:
INTAKE To take in the information:lecturers who use gestures and picturesque language
pictures, videos, posters, slides
flowcharts
underlining, different colours, highlighters
textbooks with diagrams and pictures
graphs
symbols @ and white space
Convert your “notes” into a learnable package by reducing them (3:1)
Use all of the techniques above
Reconstruct the images in different ways… try different spatial arrangements.
Redraw your pages from memory
Replace words with symbols or initials
Look at your pages.
Draw things, use diagrams
Write exam answers
Recall the pictures made by your pages
Practice turning your visuals back into words
Aural-10
Read/Write-14
This preference uses the printed word as the most important way to convey and receive information.
If you have a strong preference for learning by Reading and Writing (R & W) learning you should use some or all of the following:
INTAKE
To take in the information:
lists
headings
dictionaries
glossaries
definitions
handouts
textbooks
readings – library
notes (often verbatim)
teachers who use words well and have lots of information in sentences and notes
essays
manuals (computing and laboratory)
SWOT – Study without tears
To make a learnable package:
Convert your “notes” into a learnable package by reducing them (3:1)
Write out the words again and again.
Read your notes (silently) again and again.
Rewrite the ideas and principles into other words.
Organize any diagrams, graphs … into statements, e.g. “The trend is…”
Turn reactions, actions, diagrams, charts and flows into words.
Imagine your lists arranged in multiple choice questions and distinguish each from each.
OUTPUT
To perform well in any test, assignment or examination:
Write exam answers.
Practice with multiple choice questions.
Write paragraphs, beginnings and endings.
Write your lists (a,b,c,d,1,2,3,4).
Arrange your words into hierarchies and points.
Kinesthetic-14
This preference uses your experiences and the things that are real even when they are shown in pictures and on screens.
If you have a strong Kinesthetic preference for learning you should use some or all of the following:
INTAKE To take in the information:all your senses – sight, touch, taste, smell, hearing …
laboratories
field trips
field tours
examples of principles
lecturers who give real-life examples
applications
hands-on approaches (computing)
trial and error
collections of rock types, plants, shells, grasses…
exhibits, samples, photographs…
recipes – solutions to problems, previous exam papers
Convert your “notes” into a learnable package by reducing them (3:1)
Your lecture notes may be poor because the topics were not ‘concrete’ or ‘relevant’.
You will remember the “real” things that happened.
Put plenty of examples into your summary. Use case studies and applications to help with principles and abstract concepts.
Talk about your notes with another “K” person.
Use pictures and photographs that illustrate an idea.
Go back to the laboratory or your lab manual.
Recall the experiments, field trip…
Write practice answers, paragraphs…
Role play the exam situation in your own room.
