My learning tests open my eyes in many ways to the way I learn and teach others. The test showed that I am always on the alert for what needs immediate attention or what might provide a bit of action, excitement or entertainment, they engage quickly with their environment. I seek and enjoy freedom, good-natured, direct, and tolerant and I am often the one who provides levity. I have a way with dealing with people on a very equal platform and am not easily star struck. Rank, celebrity and status mean little when I am face to face with another individual. I act without thinking. I also tend to have natural mediating skills. I love having fun and if things are too quiet I may provide the entertainment or distraction. I learn by imitation and keen observers. I teach through example.
I find the results of my test to be a very good assumption of the way I teach and share with others. Any time I have the opportunity to share about mission trips or my faith with others I often use examples that help people relate to their everyday lives. I hate sitting in lectures and almost falling asleep because of a teacher who is monotone and could care less if he is there or not. I like to move around and be able to bring my audience into my speeches. This whole chapter has opened my eyes to see that many people can have different views of learning, and I need to realize that instead of forcing my ways on people. I think I should keep my teaching ways the way they are because they are effective and more people get involved. I do however need to be respectful of people or are just scared to death to act or talk in a group or discussion.
