Personality types and learning styles

So our computer is not uploading photos. Sorry.

The past few weeks brought some good ideas. I attending a home school conference awhile back. There was a gal there who suggested finding out the way you learn, and the way your children learn.

It was a light bulb moment for me! So enter the world of quizzing to find out how to best teach Luke and Daphne.

I'd encourage all the readers to try this. It is great information and fun. I had several times I was elated to make a discovery (Luke is dominant Naturalist/Kinesthetic), and other times I was taken aback (Daphne is a Concrete/Random). These are just some of the tests. For our family, It was helpful to take all of these tests. I hope you enjoy.


For Briggs-Myers type testing for children:

For Gregorc Mind Styles:
This is not a test, but you can easily figure out who is what.

Then once you've found what you and your children are. Look at:
