Nothing really surprised me about my learning profile. I mean it's not shocking that I have a "take charge" personality, right? I'm glad I chose to teach English as a vocation and profession because apparently that's what I do best. Components of my learning profile indicate that I am written/oral, linguistic, and analytical.
Last year, I asked my ADL students to fill out their learning profiles, and it was interesting to learn about various aspects of their learning styles and personalities. I didn't use this knowledge very effectively (or at all). I do, however, believe very strongly in its potential to inform planning and instruction. I want to offer my students many opportunities to learn in ways that are the best fit for them, and I'm eager to see how I will be able to facilitate this in the classroom this year.
I think that I model instructional strategies after my own learning style, especially visual. I almost never include tactile/kinesthetic learning in instruction. I don't really know how, so I'm curious to find out what other teachers are doing.
