After analysing the results I was surprised with the end outcome.  According to the results I have been placed further at the global end of the spectrum. Although this is the case I have always seen myself as a sequential learner as I tend to prefer information given in an orderly manner. My preferred style of learning is visual as it enables me use diagrams, images and graphs to create a clear image in my mind. I find myself writing lists on a regular basis. I believe this is apart of my preferred learning style. After you understand what you're learning preference is, you are able to begin exploring new forms of learning styles and therefore you may be able to engage using different modes of learning (Mind Tools, 2011).


"Once you know where your preferences lie on each of these dimensions, you can begin to stretch beyond those preferences and develop a more balanced approach to learning" (Mind Tools, 2011). As a learning manager it is critical that you cater for the diverse range of learning styles within your class.
