Understanding Learning styles

Judging/Perceiving


Remember how Ladonna reacted when Eddie was making them late? Ladonna was very concerned with getting to her friend's house on time, while Eddie was more interested in talking with his classmate.

Ladonna and Eddie show two different ways people go about their lives. Ladonna has a judging style. People like Ladonna live their lives in an orderly fashion, making and following through on their plans. Eddie has a perceiving style. People like Eddie are more likely to be spontaneous and don't live by a set schedule.

Do you work best if you can focus on one task at a time or do you like to have many things to do at once? Do you like starting new projects better than finishing old ones?

  • Make a list, draw, mindmap, talk to a partner, or write about a situation in your life where you think you show or feel your thinking or feeling style.
