My learning (and thinking) style is a bit off—at least, unusual for an electrician.
To determine my style, I used
the Gregorc Style Delineator. The delineator
is based on a test that requires only 5 minutes of time. It is a matter of answering 15 questions,
assigning yourself scores on a horizontal and vertical axis, and plotting lines
through 4 quadrants based on the scores.
My Gregorc Result
I have taken this test several
times over the last few years. My
results are always the same. I am long
on the vertical axis, but very nearly balanced equally in all quadrants.
The balance in all quadrants is
what makes me unusual.
As an instructor, I had several
dozen apprentices evaluate themselves with a Gregorc Style Delineator. Very few found balance in all four
quadrants. Most scored heavily in the
sequential quadrants. Furthermore, they
tended to reside heavily in only one sequential quadrant.
I should note, I also loved
teaching electrical code, which most apprentices felt was a bit strange.
There is no “wrong” quadrant. As an instructor, the Gregorc scores and
graphs told me I needed dynamic lessons to reach every quadrant: lecture, reading,
visual displays, group activities, and plenty of hands-on work.
Following is a graphic explaining the quadrants. If you are interested in seeing where you land, I have posted a link to an evaluation PDF you can download.
