In my Characteristics of Knowledge class, we took personality tests from this website as well as the LCI’s again, which each Rowan student had to do.

This test generalizes certain characteristics that each person may possess. It determines whether or not you are an interpersonal or intrapersonal, what flaws or concerns you may have, or how you prefer taking in information. This test along with the LCI test are familar with me and are also becoming useful in the classroom. The results show wheather the person is a technical, sequential, precise, or confluent. The test arn’t always exact, but can give a gist of how each student may succeed in learning the best by asking a variety of questions. In my opinion I find that determining an explicit personality of a person through a test may be invalid, but answering questions such as “Do you work better with others or alone?” may give teachers insight on the individual students and how they perform in and out of their classroom.
