After filling out the Learning Styles Profile and reading Howard Gardner's eight intelligences, my results were that I was a Musical and an Interpersonal learner. Gardner's way of examining a child's learning style was a better way than Alfred Binet's style because Gardner took into consideration the differences every child had. By reviewing my results of being a musical learner, I realized that by listening to music or writing songs, I am able to express how I feel more clearly than if I were to draw a picture or build a diagram. I am an interpersonal learner because I have sympathy towards people that do not understand what I am trying to explain. If there is a miscommunication, I lead the listener into the right direction by explaining myself more clearly and organized. By understanding the differences that students have in learning, it is easier to teach them as a whole instead of focusing on one certain way of teaching.
