VARK Test

My VARK scores were:
  • Visual: 15
  • Aural: 14
  • Read/Write: 12
  • Kinesthetic: 13
I Think this does apply to me because I do tend to try and learn things anyway possible, the test did seem to show which order I prefer to learn in. I like to learn by Visual and Aural methods and then practice what I have learnt. If i am learning something on my own it is usually because I wanted to learn it to do something. I do a lot of learning by reading things on the internet as well but I do prefer Visual and Oral learning followed by actually doing what I have learnt. The VARK Test seems to show this. 

SWOT Analysis of Myself

Strengths:
  • Good Technological Skills.

  • Good at Video Games (Useful for my Job ^^).
  • Good at problem solving (Most of the time).
  • Good at Self-Motivating.
  • A Fun person in general (helps motivate other people).
Weaknesses:
  • Unorganised.
  • Find it difficult to wake up in the morning regardless of how much sleep I get (it takes 3 alarms to wake me up!)
  • Not particularly great with time keeping.
Oppurtunities:
  • Learning New Skills at University.
  • Have been promoted at work (more money for doing less work ^^).
  • A Degree will broaden my career prospects immensely.
Threats:
