Reaction to Learning Style Assessment

I was not surprised my scores showed that I was an emotional learner. After reviewing the characteristics of the typical emotional learner, I feel that this label suits me well. I feel that the results were accurate because I am typically very sympathetic, similar to most emotional learners. I almost always consider others' feelings before doing something. If I think that a situation may compromise another person's well-being, I will not participate in that activity. Occasionally, I will even sacrifice my own wishes in order to make sure another person is happy. I realize that if most members of a party are satisfied, even if I am not, it is better for a majority to be content rather than one person. This circumstance often occurs in a group setting. I usually will compromise on a topic even if I disagree with a conclusion that many group members make in order to avoid conflict. This way of constantly seeking harmony in a group is a strong characteristic of an emotional learner. In addition, sometimes I will consider what others may possibly think if I complete a certain task before completing it. This "social consciousness" is another commonality between emotional people. Since I hold many characteristics of the typical emotional learner, i feel that the results of the learning assessment are indeed accurate.
This learning test has also made me learn something about my personality. I now realize that it would be difficult for me to be a part of a jury since I am often so subjective. My decision could easily be swayed by someone crying or a heartfelt story. I never thought of this situation before.
