Myers-Briggs Type Indicator & The VARK Questionnaire

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
The Myers-Briggs Typr Indicator (MBTI) is designed to assess and analyse how humans perceive the world and make decisions, in which there are 16 MBTI types.
After completeing the MBTI assessment, I found out that I had got the result of ENTP in which the summary of this is as follows:

• Quick, Stimulating, alert and outspoken.
• Resourceful in challenging and solving problems.
• Good at reading other people.
• Bored with the same routine - will do the same rountine in the same way very seldomly.
• Adapt to turn to one interest after another.

The VARK Questionnaire
The VARK questionnaire has been designed to help any student identify a learning style that suits them best. After finding out the results, the student can them research other learning approaches that could benefit them in the future.
After completing the VARK questionnaire, I have found out that I have a Kinestic learning preference becuase I like to do a physical activity rather than sit there listening in a lecture, in which I feel that I learn more by doing something that just listening to something.
My VARK scores are as follows:

• Visual - 4
• Aural - 8
• Read/Write - 1
• Kinesthetic - 11

The following website link is a website that I personnally used to research the different methods that Kinesthic learners could use.
