Response: Overall, I found this exercise very interesting. It helped me understand that my learning style is a result of the things that seem appealing or unappealing to me. I was not surprised by my high score in the Intrapersonal section because I have always considered myself someone who has been self-efficient. I was quite surprised that my small interest in music gave me such a high score as a musical learner. It seems likely that since I listen to a lot of music depending on my mood there is an emotional connection within myself. I wasn’t aware that I possessed a musical learning style that involved being able to interpret forms and types. My score was also high for the Bodily Kinesthetic aspect of learning. This made me reflect back to when I was younger and use to dance. Dancing in itself is a form of producing and learning by telling stories or a message with your body. I thought the exercise was very informative and affective.
