Learning Styles Report
In the 1980’s a chartered psychologist called Peter Honey and a specialist in management called Alan Mumford came together and wrote The Manual of Learning Styles. ... After conducting the Honey and Mumford questionnaire, it revealed that my preferred learning style was that of an activist. ... Another factor that can restrain activists is being given precise instructions with little room to deviate and experiment, such guidelines are restrictive to an activists learning style. Having the learning style of an activist has many strengths for a person, but it also has many weaknesses. ... These characteristics offer a lot of advantages, especially when relating the learning to businesses. If a worker has an activist style then they can openly communicate, showing good potential for ideas and leadership; and will also be open-minded about change in their surroundings, further more increasing their flexibility and learning potential. Whilst they are not afraid to have new experiences and appear to be flexible in their learning regime, activists can be too enthusiastic. ... These can be a great disadvantage whilst learning as it insinuates the need to rush and not thoroughly prepare whilst can result in incorrect work and frequent mistakes. Also, their enthusiasm to tackle a challenge straight away often means that when the time arises for an implemented learning activity, with lots of research, an activist will easily become bored and their learning ability decreases.
