Whether you are pursuing your education, career, or personal improvement, it is beneficial for
you to have a firm understanding of your approach to learning. To do this, you will complete two
different assessments that focus on different learning profiles. First, you will explore your
personality profile by completing a Myers-Briggs assessment. If you have taken one previously,
it is required that you complete it again during this assignment in order to evaluate whether your
personality approach has evolved.
Second, you will complete the VARK assessment, which is an updated approach to the
traditional learning styles. VARK is an acronym which stands for visual, aural, read/write, and
kinesthetic. As you complete the assessment, select ALL of the appropriate responses per
question.
Answer the questions using the template below. Then, submit this document with your responses
to Blackboard. (Syllabus MLO: C, F and Module 3 LOs: 4, 5, 6)
Respond to each section with a minimum of 3 sentences per question. NOTE: All questions
below are required.
SECTION 1: Complete the Personality Assessment by going to
www.16personalities.com
. Once
you have the results, answer the questions below. (NOTE: This test is free. Any paid aspect of
the assessment is optional.)
What was your result (e.g. ENTP-A) and descriptor (e.g. Debater)? What are the main
highlights of your personality result?
After taking the personality assessment I discovered that I am an ESFJ-T Consul. Some
of my highest rated traits were, 60% Extravert, 63% Observant, 65% Feeling, 72%
Judging, 75% Turbulent. A few highlights of which are of this personality type are being
altruistic, and very supportive and outgoing.
Read through the section about Strengths and Weaknesses. Identify one strength and one
weakness that relates to how you approach learning or your assignments.
The one strength that stood out to me the most was Strong Sense of Duty. Basically
meaning we strive to meet obligations and responsibilities. I believe I definitely carry this
quality because I dedicated specific time for studying and assignments. One weakness
that I felt resonated with me is Too Selfless. I do too often put others needs before my
own sometimes impinging on the absolutes that I need to get done.
Read through the section about Careers. What do you most resonate with? What do you
think they got wrong when describing you? Does it align with your current career
trajectory?
I definitely feel that the part that resonates the most with me was that I really do enjoy
helping people and feeling like I made an impact. The one part I feel that is wrong is that
I would not do well in a counseling field because I would not feel like I did something
valuable. Therefore is does not align with my current career trajectory being that I hope

to be a Forensic Case Manager and you essentially counsel and aid others back to normal
life.
Read through the section about Workplace Habits. While this is written for workplace
habits, there is often correlation with our learning experience. What are some areas in this
section that help you better understand how to approach learning?
This helped me in the way that, sometimes I do in fact take criticism to heart. While
learning I need to understand that criticism is a way to help make you better not to make
you upset. So when learning something new and I don’t quite understand the concept,
asking for help or taking criticism isnt a bad thing.
What are your overall thoughts after completing the assessment and reviewing your
results? Do you believe that it properly associated you to the results? How do you believe
that this information will help you in your future classes?
I truly believe that this assessment really was almost on point for me. I really enjoyed
learning about my specific personality type. I believe the biggest take away on this with
helping me in future classes is definitely the part about criticism. Do not let myself take it
to heart and use it to better my work ethic and education.
SECTION 2: Complete the VARK Assessment by going to http://vark-learn.com/the-vark-
questionnaire/. Once you have the results, answer the questions below. When taking the
assessment, make sure that you choose all
responses that apply. To complete the subsequent
sections, you will need to click on the relevant hyperlinks below your results. (NOTE: This test
is free. Any paid aspect of the assessment is optional.)
After completing the assessment, what were your results? Be specific and provide the
scores. My results after taking the VARK assessment were Visual 8, Aural 7, Read/Write
8, and Kinesthetic 10. My overall learning preference is considered to be Multimodal.
Choose one of your highest two strategies and open the detailed information. Then, answer
the following questions.
Review the “People with a [modality] preference prefer” section. Which of the methods
do you think would best fit your preferences? Why? Have you tried any before?
I believe the best fit preferences for me is the Read/Write preference. Under this
preference I found that those who like this preferred learning style arrange thing in a
hierarchies and points, order and structure. I use this method when I write my notes as I
read and take note from textbooks of my classes.
Review the “To take in information” section. Which of these methods do you think would
best fit your preferences? Why? Have you tried any before?
The best fit for me in this section is take notes. This is the best for me because I feel I
retain information better this way. Every time I read any text for my classes I always take
notes.
UNIV 104
Review the “To present information to others” section, including “In education” and “In
the workplace”. Which of these methods do you think would be most effective for you?
Why? Have you tried any before?
I believe ordering things into priorities of importance, or categories, or schemas would fit
best for me in the aspect of conveying information to others. I feel this is best for me
because it is an organized way of presenting. I have used this for power points and other
various presentations throughout my entire educational experience.
SECTION 3: Answer the final question below.
After completing both assessments and sets of questions, what are your overall
takeaways? How do you plan to apply what you have learned about yourself?
My overall takeaways from the personality assessment and questions is to better
understand how to apply criticism in a non personal manner. My takeaway from the
VARK assessment and questions is that I learn better from an organized way of learning
based on reading and writing. I intend to apply each of these to all future schooling
endeavors to help me learn to be better and to stay organized and retain information in a
way that I will thrive from.
Submit this assignment by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Monday of Module/Week 2.
