Learning Style and Intelligence Tests

Both the Gregorc test and the Gardner helped me learn the best way for me to learn and who I are. For the Gregorc test  I learned that I am a Concrete Random learner. That means that I like to be independent, take risks, complete experiments, and solve problems. I do this is by playing games, creating products, creating unusual solutions, and studying independently. For the Gardner test I learned that I am strong in logical-mathematics, music, interpersonal, and intrapersonal. This means I think by reasoning, via rhythms, and by bouncing ideas off people and deeply inside themselves. It also means I love to experiment, play music, lead other people, and set goals. I need to be able to explore, play music, talk with friends, and have alone time. I will take away from this that I am good at math, science, and music. This information will help at school because I know I need to try my best at writing since I am not as good as I am at math. I also know that I should try my best at math, science and music, but if I need to focus more on writing I know I can because I can easily get A's in those subjects.
Three people I admire are my mom, my dad and my brother.  I believe my mom is a concrete sequential learner. She likes to learn by doing hands on activities also she is very organized. I think my dad is a sequential learner because he likes to have an order when doing activities, and he likes having detail on what we are doing. My brother is a concrete random, like me, because he enjoys doing experiments and he likes to solve problems.
In conclusion, the Gregorc tests and the Gardner tests help you think about how you learn. It also helps you to think about what you need to work on. In all, these tests are helpful to everyone.

Concrete/Abstract Random here too. Music, you say? What instrument(s) do you play?
