Different types of people approach problems in very different ways.
Creative Problem-Solvers try to apply a new solution to each problem while relying only slightly on prior knowledge. They are able to imagine more than one way to solve any single problem. They are also more likely to be able to envision multiple perspectives on a problem.
Non-creative Problem-Solvers on the other hand are better at perfecting a single approach to any given problem after encountering it several times. They are much less likely to vary their approach.
This new test will tell you whether you are a creative or non-creative problem solver.

New Test: Child’s Learning Style by Abby Margolis Newman
Filed Under Learning style test | 1 Comment
Against the claims of traditional intelligence testing and educational theory, Harvard educational psychologist Howard Gardner argues that there is in fact no single “intelligence” but rather a system of eight or more factors which are often referred to as “multiple intelligences” or “learning styles.”
Even children exhibit a large difference from one another in their exhibition of the major learning styles. Even two children from the same family may have completely different natural approaches to learning and the world around them in total.
It was in order to help make sense out of these differences that Abby Margolis Newman developed this test. Take it, and you will be able to find out what type of learning styles your child exhibits and how you can work with these tendencies to positively spark your child’s development.

Learning styles tests have been so popular as of late that I’ve decided to post another one.
This one is called “The Vark Questionnaire” and works on the basic model of most learning styles tests. There are four basic learning styles:
- Visual
- Aural
- Reading/Writing
- Kinesthetic
Hence V – A – R – K. VARK!
Each person utilizes each of these different learning styles in differing degrees. Some people show a strong general preference for one learning style, while others show a broad use of all four of them.
The questions on this test will help VARK assess your own learning style(s) and give you helpful informaiton regarding what this might mean for your professional and education life.

New Test: Thinking Styles Test: GLOBAL or ANALYTICAL Test
Filed Under Learning style test | Leave a Comment
There are several different ways to differentiate thinkers into groups with divergent characteristics. One recent method (and an interesting one, I might add) is the GLOBAL – ANALYTICAL dichotomy. This new test that I’ve just had the grace to post for you will ask you 43 wonderful questions and then kindly put you into either the ANALYTICAL thinking category or the GLOBAL.
Analytical thinkers work from details to abstractions.
Global thinkers work from abstractions to details.
For example, when given a homework assignment, analytical thinkers will want to be given detailed instructions from the start. They will want to know exactly what is required of them including the exact order that the work should be done in and PRECISELY which tools should be used.
On the contrary, Global thinkers want to hear about the big picture from the start. They won’t want to be bogged down with details, but instead will ask questions like “Yes, but what’s the point?” or “WHY, do I need to do this?”
Which type of thinker are you?
Find out if you are a global or analytical thinker.

There are four primary learning styles that individuals tend to engage in during a school or college setting.
These are:
Aural – Learning with your ears. You like to listen to people in order to get information.
Visual – Learning with your eyes. You like to look at pictures and diagrams.
Verbal – Learning through words. You like to read and write to absorb information.
Kinesthetic – Learing through your body. You like to engage in activities that take advantage of your entire array of senses.
Each person has a different learning experience depending one which of these categories he or she fits into. This test will help you find out which type of learning YOU are.

There is more than one conduit through which information may be passed into the brain. Among others, these include the auditory and visual channels; the ears and the eyes.
Some have a tendency to favor one channel over the other in the acquisition of new knowledge and new information.
When you contemplate the word “bat” what other words first come into your mind?
Do you think of words like “baseball,” “cave,” and “wing”?
Or do you think of words like “cat,” “rat” and “bad”?
A tendency to always choose one type of word over the other may indicate that your mind facilitates one channel over the other.

Did you know that there are seven distinct methods through which people learn?
It’s true. Each person has a particular level of aptitude in each of the seven categories: Visual, Social, Physical, Aural, Verbal, Solitary, and Logical.
This new test analyzes your learning ability in each of these categories by asking you 70 quick questions about your learning habits. Once you have finished answering the questions, the test gives you detailed information about your learning style that will help you better understand your own individual learning process.
The coolest part is that the results include a visual graph of your learning style results, sort of of like a learning style finger print, total unique to you!

Do you learn better through words or through pictures?
Which do you understand more easily, abstract concepts or concrete information?
Get the answers to these questions and more by taking this new free learning styles test.
The test is really quick (just 10 minutes!) and very helpful. You will answer 44 easy questions and then be given a rating in four categories corresponding to different aspects of the learning process. This is great.
Once you understand your own learning process better, it is much easier to adapt to situations in which you need to think in ways that you are not used to. I’d say it’s definitely worth a try!

A new test category hot off the fiberoptic line:
For hundreds of years, the general public has been prey to the belief that one’s ability to learn is directly proportionate to one’s inate inteligence.
Today however, this is highly contested. No two human beings learn in exactly the same way. In fact, two equally intelligent people can differ drastically in their prefered learning styles.
Try out one of these tests and you will understand where your unique mind fits into the matrix of complex learning styles possibilities. The better you can understand your own mind, the better you can work with it to achieve greatness!
