1. Accommodator- Doing and Feeling
2. Diverger- Watching and Feeling
3. Converger- Doing and Thinking
4. Assimilator- Watching and Thinking
So based on the characteristics it described it basically came as no surprise to me that I was a Diverger. It pretty much describes me...kinda weird.
Diverger (Main Question: Why Am I learning this?)
- Empathetic and people oriented
- Sensitive to peer group
- Has a vivid imagination
- Has diverse interests
- Recognizes problems in the environment
- Needs emotional inolvement
- Listens and shares ideas well
- Collects information using all senses
- Is artistic and creative
- Likes to participate, collaborate
- Enjoy brainstorming
So the main question that Diverger's ask is "Why am I learning this"...it's so crazy because I asked that almost every day my first year. I just needed to know how some of that stuff would tie into my optometric career. Now that it is my 2nd week, I am already seeing my many things being tied in so that makes me a lot happier. So the other questions for the learning types are as follows:
Accommodator- What if I did it this way?
Converger- How am I going to learn this?
Assimilator- What am I going to learn here?
I thought it was also interesting to note that, majority of the class were Converger's... (yeah our prof made us raise our hands) and he said in previous years, most, if not close to all of the class were converger's... hmm...makes you wonder. Let me know if anyone is interested in seeing more characteristics for the other learning types. Well that's all for now. "Sundays are for relaxing"
Until Next Time...
