Dominance Profile: O
In Humanities class, Mr. Whiting visited us and talked about the Dominance Profile. We tested our eyes, ears, legs and hands to know what our profile is, who we work well with, where we should sit and what should we do if our 'super thinking highway' in our brain shut when we're under stressed. I'm a Gestalt,right brained and a kinesthetic and a visual learner. My profile is an O.
Some projects or class work is more difficult for me. I usually struggle when working piece by piece because I'm a gestalt, right brained. I learn best by looking at the whole picture when starting something. Sometimes, I listen to music while I work, I feel very relaxing but sometimes I work slowly because I get distracted easily.
When a teacher gives me instruction, I need to see the instruction because I'm a visual learner, this way helps me remember the instruction better. Plus, I need to be working somewhere quiet or my work will be incomplete. As a Gestalt, we get distracted easily, just by the rain outside makes me want to pull my hair out (especially when I'm under stress).
The strategy that would help me with my learning is acting out the topic, see videos or draw. Logic, left brain people usually study by reading and other things. Us, gestalt, kinesthetic needs to learn by moving around, not just reading and do activities that has less moving. Sometimes I takes notes in class by drawing pictures with some words. And when reading, I usually read out loud because I understand better and I don't get under stress or bored even though I read for a long time.
I want my teacher to know this because it sometimes harder for me to do something I'm not used to.. I think sitting with logical people will helps me learn to become a logic. Everyone have a different ways of learning where they can understand better and I think we can learn from each other.
