Learning Style

I am a Tactile learner- I learn by doing. I find that this learning style helps me with understanding tools and machinery, making it faster for me to learn how to use them.
My secondary learning style is Auditory. Another great learning style, making it possible to learn through lectures. This also helps when working with machinery, It helps you know when a machine is running optimally or might be about to break.
To help improve my learning capabilities as an auditory learner I can:

1. talk out loud while reading.
2. Recite certain definitions or key words while studying.
3. Explain information or processes verbally.

Personality Indicator

As Indicated by the PLSI test I am an:

INTP:

Introvert

Intuitive

Thinker

Perceiver

Here is some description about INTP personalty types that I found to be true about myself:

INTPs are relatively easy-going and amenable to almost anything until their principles are violated, about which they may become outspoken and inflexible. They prefer to return, however, to a reserved albeit benign ambiance, not wishing to make spectacles of themselves. A major concern for INTPs is the haunting sense of impending failure. They spend considerable time second-guessing themselves. INTPs are quiet, thoughtful, analytical individuals who tend to spend long periods of time on their own, working through problems and forming solutions. They are curious about systems and how things work. Consequently, they are frequently found in careers such as science, philosophy, law, psychology, and architecture. INTPs tend to be less at ease in social situations

Intelligence type

My main intelligence types according to the Multiple Intelligence Survey are:

1. Bodily-Kinesthetic. This.This means that I work easily with my hands, quick to learn when physically involved in something.
2. Naturalist. This means that I enjoy nature and work well in it and with it.
3. Linguistic. This shows that I communicate better through language then I do with words.
