Performance is largely determined by a combination of inborn

traits and effective learning gained from environmental

reinforcement. While natural abilities are generally encouraged

and capitalized on, rarely do individuals think of honing their

personality or learning styles in order to learn or act more

effectively. However, such an undertaking could immensely

benefit the individual in choosing the right subjects while

opting for higher studies or for career guidance.

5 psychometric assessments are included in this

report which aims to provide an objective evaluation

of attributes and behavioural tendency in a concise

manner.

When analyzed in relation to one another, these

assessments could throw light on a number of

personality aspects and thus help one learn more

easily and recognise the vocation where ones

strengths can be optimally utilised.

This report aims at providing an insight into the capability

and strengths for increased understanding of potential. As

a guidance tool, it aspires to help one grow as an

individual by showing dimensions that holds scope for

improvement.

THE ASSESSMENT W RLD

Mr. Manjunatha S A

INTRODUCTION:

The Psychometric tools used in this module are a Powerful combination of hereditary and environmental measures, gauging the individual’s personality and learning styles on a holistic level. A result of commendable research, these assessments provide individuals with an objective framework that will enable them to choose the right path to continue growing and learning based on their potentials and strengths. The following Battery of 5 psychometric assessments gives a comprehensive insight into the person’s strength and potential.

1. Personality Style Assessment a. FITS

2. Learning Styles Questionnaires: a. VAK b. CARS c. PRSE d. MI

1. Personality Style: a. F. I. T.S Successful interpersonal relations, is a result of our personalities and how others perceive us. Carl Jung, the famous Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst classified 4 major personality types in his research on "Psychological Types". Personalities are formed by inherited genes and each of these distinctive personality types has unique strengths and drawbacks on a continuum from effective to ineffective. Your personality style is representative of the dominating trait present in you. F.I.T.S helps discover your inherent personality style and assists you in understanding those of others. 2. Learning Style Questionnaires:

a. Visual Auditory Kinesthetic The Visual-Auditory-Kinesthetic learning styles model, usually abbreviated to VAK, provides a simple way to explain and understand your own learning style (and learning styles of others) to assess your preferred learning styles, and most importantly, to incorporate learning methods and experiences that match your strengths and preferences. There is no right or wrong learning style. The fact is that there are different types of learning styles that suit different people.

b. Concrete, Abstract, Random and Sequential

CARS assessment tool provides amazing insight into how individual’s gather and assimilate information. It is of immense value to individuals, as awareness into these can be utilized towards building on their natural learning preferences.

c. Participating, Reflecting, Structuring and Experimenting

PRSE assesses the approach (Participating, Reflecting, Structuring and Experimenting) an individual takes to organize and internalize information. The individual’s scores provide an objective analysis to understand the means by which he/she organizes new learning.

d. Multiple Intelligence

The theory of “multiple intelligence” developed by Howard Gardner provides nine different potential pathways to learning. It gives a whole new way of looking at lives, suggesting several ways in which effective learning can be facilitated in view of individual strengths and potential.

You prefer to think in an ordered sequential manner as depicted by your high scores on the concrete sequential style. You tend to break down projects into steps and are able to assimilate details and facts effortlessly when necessary. Thus you may be quite effective in handling complex assignments with several stages. In spite of being conceptual and idea driven inherently, you also come across to be sequential and orderly. You are most of the time engrossed in the world of theory and abstract thoughts and want to know the cause behind the effects. This attribute might have stemmed out of the Intuitor dimension. However you have the ability to be systematic in the manner in which you process the information. You have the ability to zoom in on what’s important, such as key points and significant details. Being moderately inclined on concrete random style of learning, you tend to be idealistic at times, and might take a trial and error approach whenever required.

Learning Style Stages: VAK VAK assesses the various modes by which individuals prefer to acquire information based on their heredity characteristics. These are classified into the Visual, Auditory and Kinaesthetic learning styles.

As a predominant kinaesthetic learning person, you prefer a very tactile experience of things while learning. People with a kinaesthetic learning style are also commonly known as do-ers. You would love physical activities or making things and may find it hard to sit still for long periods and may become distracted by your need for activity and exploration. You may move around a lot, fiddle with pens and pencils, especially when the learning event does not include kinaesthetic cues. Along with kinaesthetic, you also come across as a visual learner, you will be at ease, when you retain information through reading or seeing. You may always think in terms of pictures or visual clips and learn best from visual displays including: diagrams, illustrated text books, overhead transparencies, videos, flipcharts and hand-outs. You come across as a strong fast reader with good ability to focus on the words and pictures in front of you. Not being very inclined to learn through the auditory medium, you might find it difficult to retain information well, if it is relayed to you only through auditory mediums, such as talks or lectures.

Overview

Being a high Feeler, you come across as friendly individual, who can express everything in his mind. You tend to easily feel guilty about issues and over personalize them. This may result in a lot of conflicts within, in turn disturbing your peace of mind. However high scores on inter-personal and intra-personal intelligence indicate that you are comfortable in group situations, finding it easy to interact and bond with people as well as understand your goals & aspirations. Thus you will perform well in areas that call for people interaction, public relations, idea generation and conceptualizing. Standing high on abstract random style of learning, your thinking processes are based on feelings, making you good at establishing a rapport with people. As a feeler you work from the heart and not from the head. All the same due to environmental influence you do not follow a logical and rational thinking process, in your learning style. You are random in your approach to learning gathering and assimilating information which is why even though you understand the concepts you are not able to give the required output. Standing high on concrete sequential style of learning, you have the need to understand theory and facts and like to read and research well for projects. As an intuitor you are conceptual and abstract in your approach. All the same due to environmental influence you do follow a logical and rational thinking process, being sequential in your learning style. Thus in spite of being creative and idea driven, you are sequential in your approach to learning gathering and assimilating information in a methodical fashion. Thus you may excel on projects and assignments that require out of the box thinking along with the need to collect and organise data.
