Learning Style Inventory

How we learn is a fascinating and individual process. As psychologist Carl Jung discovered, any learning process requires both perception--how we find out about persons, places, and things -- and judgment--how we process or make judgments about what we perceive.

Perception occurs in one of two ways (called functions), either by "sensing" or "intuiting". Judgment also occurs in one of two ways, either by "thinking" or "feeling".

Behaviors associated with each function are outlined below.

 
 
Paired Functions Make Styles
 
The preference for sensing or intuiting is independent of the preference for thinking or feeling. As a result, four distinct combinations occur. These combinations are called Learning Styles.
 
 
Each of these combinations produces a different type of Learning Style characterized by whatever interests, values, needs, habits of mind, surface traits, and learning behaviors naturally result from these combinations.
