Personality and learning style are probably two of the greatest keys to academic success. Key’s that all students should have in their guidebook. Personality and learning style is a reflection of one’s unique individual makeup.
Personality can make or break a student’s ability to be successful in the classroom. For example; if a student is pessimistic by nature and always views the cup as half empty as opposed to half full he/she will probably be two steps behind. However, if a student is more optimistic by nature and always views the cup as half full as opposed to half empty he/she stands a greater chance of achieving academic success.
In addition to personality style, learning style is equally important. There are many different learning styles. Some students are visual learners, while others are auditory learners. Some students choose to utilize all of their senses in order to comprehend and retain information. A student needs to explore both personality style and learning style as it applies to that particular student. Possessing the ability to be honest with one self will help the student be able to see and better comprehend that which is unique within them.
Learning styles also reflect and incorporate a student’s personality style. A student will be most successful in achieving his/her academic success if they have a basic understanding of what their learning style is and how their personality style can impact their learning style. Once a student has mastered this skill it should make the road to academic success more smooth and free of bumps and obstacles.
It is my hope that each student would take the time to understand the elements that contribute to academic success. Each student is responsible and accountable for their own success story as it applies to the world of education. By following some of the guidelines outlined in this paper a student’s journey down the road of academic success should be a bit easier.
