There are 2 types of learners: analytic and global<\/strong>. We are both types of learner, but each of us tend to lean toward one more than the other.<\/p>\n

Here are the traits of an analytic learner:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Prefers true-false and multiple choice test questions.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Sees things separately rather than as a general idea.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Prefers to give and receive exact answers.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Tunes out people when needs to think.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Resists being ‘told’ what to do.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 Doesn’t need others approval.<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 Word-by-word reader<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0 Works best alone.<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0 Self organizes.<\/p>\n

10.\u00a0 Enjoys math.<\/p>\n

Now, here’s a look at the global learner’s traits.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Prefers tests with essays and requests for sharing opinions rather than true-false and multiple choice options.<\/p>\n

2. Math is an impersonal subject; in reading the global often skims and goes back for details.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Sees the big picture. Global learners look for the main ideas and relationships.<\/p>\n

4. Performs as a team player rather than a competitor; readily shares ideas.<\/p>\n

5\u00a0 Wants to know the expectations on tasks and projects.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 Appreciates quiet time and praise.<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 Sensitive to criticism.<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0 Ideas grow randomly.<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0 Detests timed tests.<\/p>\n

10. Procrastinates.<\/p>\n
