Learning style, strengths and weakneses.

Earlier today we were given a few exercises to determine our learning styles and our strengths and weaknesses in the learning field. This series of short tests were statements which we were required to number depending upon our feelings towards them and also questions with two separate answers to find out which side of our brain is more dominant.

I discovered that i learn kinaestethicaly, which means i prefer to practice by repeating them and physically doing things in order to learn how, also using rhymes, word links and poems in order to remember things.
I also discovered that the right side of my brain is more dominant which means I have a more creative nature and prefer to learn through free exploration. however it also means I can have difficulty concentrating and tend to be a daydreamer often becoming restless during long verbal explanations. I have noticed this often in the past and now understand why this occurs.

Upon completing the tasks i found out my strengths and weaknesses, strengths being presenting ideas, assertiveness and ICT (Information Computer Technology) and weaknesses being Writing and analysis and Time management with a particular problem with distraction. In order to rectify these problems i hope to improve my note taking skills and learn how to skim read, also attempt to become more organised and try to improve my timekeeping, especially when studying or doing homework.

One think i believe I have to do is push myself a little bit harder and when i feel i can't be bothered or I'm bored of a task, to force myself to do more. A lot of this can be as simple as overcoming laziness and lethargy, something I can do to get myself more motivated has little to do with learning and actually do more physical activity. I plan to go swimming at least once a week in order to increase my energy levels and therefore help my concentration.
