According to the VAK Learning Styles Questionnaire, I am a visual learner. I feel that this is an accurate assessment since I am a person who prefers observing things. If learning a new task, I want someone to model it for me first. I prefer handouts or flipcharts during class presentations. I implement lists and follow written directions.

My results from Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences Test yielded the three highest scores in the following areas: Musical, Logical-Mathematical, and Intrapersonal. I find these results rather interesting. I play the piano and enjoy listening to music, which may qualify as an appreciation and use of sound; however, I any other typical roles or related tasks and activities in the Musical category. The Logical-Mathematical Intelligences score makes more sense because I prefer searching for patterns, (a visual learner trait), mathematical calculations, and working toward a tangible outcome. I prefer numbers and logic because they provide a sense of order. The Intrapersonal Intelligence score also makes sense given the significant events in my personal life in recent years. I became a widow in August of 2007, and my daughter has just completed her first year at Salisbury University. I have spent much time in self-reflection, and in contemplation of my personal relationships and belief systems, while adjusting to new life situations, which correlates with many of the characterisics in the Intrapersonal category.
