My Learning and Personality Profile – Assignment #2 (50 points)

(Revised Spring 2018)

Self-awareness is the tool we use to help us gain valuable information about how to be successful in school, on-the-job, and in life in general. Self-awareness is the process of paying attention to yourself from different angles. We have already explored your dreams and goals for the future—an important first step. Now, let’s explore the different sides of you: Your learning style and personality. We are going to put this all together to consider how we can build on your strengths and improve any weaknesses. All of these assessments will help us to gain valuable information about how to be a success in college but, also what course of study and career is right for us!

For this project you will need to complete each of the two assessments listed below prior to the class (specific dates to be announced). You will understand your learning profile better if you can discuss your results in class.
