Ilm Developing Yourself and Others
Section 1: Know how to identify development needs 1.1 Identify own learning style(s) and the learning style(s) of another team member
To identify the learning and development style of myself and a team member we both completed a Multiple Intelligence (MI) test developed by Howard Gardner.
After completion of the test on myself I have discovered that I have a learning style of Logical – Mathematical, with a majority score of 37, closely followed by Interpersonal with a score of 32, (see Appendix 1).
People who are strong in logical-mathematical intelligence are good at reasoning, recognising patterns and logically analyse problems. These individuals tend to think conceptually about numbers, relationships and patterns. Characteristics of Logical-Mathematical Intelligence are: * Excellent problem-solving skills * Enjoys thinking about abstract ideas * Likes conducting scientific experiments * Good at solving complex computations
The conclusion of the test does not come as a revelation to me. As I am the Finance & HR Manager with an accounting qualification this examination confirms my knowledge and learning style as being logical thinking with ability to evaluate and solve problems. During the course of my career and training aspects I believe that I learn and develop in a methodical and analytical way. I execute mathematical calculations, detecting irregularities and patterns, creating resolutions to issues that have been identified, plus producing a strategy to achieve successful working systems within my role.
After completing the MI test myself I then requested a member of my team (Jane Doe) to complete the same learning styles questionnaire to see what type of style they were. On completing the questionnaire she scored equally in 3 areas; Linguistic, Logical-Mathematical and Intrapersonal, (see Appendix 2)
People who are strong in linguistic intelligence are able to use words well, both when writing and
