I agree with the thought process brought about by Howard Gardner. He brings up a valid point in that everyone is an individual thus growing up and learning in different ways. There is proof of this if you look around the world and at different cultures. Students in Japan are raised in a culture where they have to fight for their schooling and apply to get into schools. It is not something handed to them as it is to us in the U.S. Therefore those students will have better study skills because they know the value of a good education and the work that is required to get them to their goal. Also, in many ways the way a parent raises you also has an impact on your learning ability. If they teach you all about music and you grow up playing instruments, it brings about a deeper sense of thinking leading to more patience and a better problem saving ability. If you grow up quiet and reading a lot of books, you learn a lot of big words at a younger age, thus bringing your English language skills to come out ahead of maybe your math or science skills. All in all everyone is different and Gardner proves that with his eight learning styles. Just taking the quiz is proof that you’re not every leaning style. Some fit you better than others. I know I am a hands on learner and that I am not the best at math, yet I am good at reading people and their emotions. My results were accurate and not one bit surprising.
