Learning Style Indicator
What kind of learner are you?

lead you to the wrong conclusion.

SCORING PROCEDURES
Each preference (high score) from the two above sections is used to
determine your learning style:
If you are a AE and CE then you are a : Doer
Concrete Experience and Active Experimentation
If you are a RO and CE then you are a : Watcher
Reflective Observation and Concrete Experience
If you are a RO and AC then you are a : Thinker
Abstract Conceptualization and Reflective Observation
If you are a AE and AC then you are a : Feeler
Abstract Conceptualization and Active Experimentation
Note that you learn in ALL four styles, but you normally learn best by
starting in and using one style the most.
