At first, I pretty much agreed with this test, which surprised me as I usually say these type of tests are a waste of time. I think I fit into the 'activist' mode; I find it difficult to absorb information through listening in lectures or from instructions and I love problem solving and team work.
However, after looking at my results for the other categories I have a problem with this test. I think different learning skills are required for different situations; with studio work I like to get things done without over thinking research, but with Design Studies work I enjoy reading and researching.
Discussing the test in the meeting did not bring very satisfying results. Since we hardly know each other it was hard to analyse each others learning style. However we did make a chart with our results to find out what we were like as a group, and if we work together well.
As a group we have quite a wide variety of learning styles. A few of us tend to lead the discussion, others listen well. Altogether though I think we work fairly well.
To improve my learning style I need to consider different ideas before jumping excitedly into a project.
