I feel thoroughly evaluated...I had no idea how many ways there were to categorize how I prefer to learn and express myself. On the My Way inventory I tied for written and oral as my preferred expression styles but I was only one point away with dramatization (not surprising). I do enjoy writing and I think it is fairly obvious that I enjoy speaking so this was no major surprise. Both of these qualities lend themselves well to drama so I now officially approve of the My Way inventory as a faily accurate way to focus on how I prefer to express myself.
According to my numerous evaluations I am also a visual learner, I am analytical and my personal objectives/personality component is harmony. I'm cool with my results but I still don't know how I feel about these tests. I am just not sure that I am sold on things of this nature being so easily categorized.
With that in mind, I do think it is important to consider these things (differences in learning preferences, forms of self expression etc.) as a teacher and rely on them for delivering meaningful and authentic instruction to students.
