MY LEARNING STYLE

Auditory
12%
Visual
12%

Kinesthetic
76%

The Learning Style test represents how my brain best takes in information from
the 3 dimensional world.

• Auditory: from sound, listening and music
• Visual: from the eyes/seeing and visual queues
• Kinesthetic: from the body, feeling or moving
I naturally take in the vast amount of information through kinesthetic senses and
the remainder visually and through auditory means.

• Gifts: Alertness, prudence
The Pleasure Seeker: Prioritizes pleasure and enjoyment in the here and now

MY WHEEL OF LIFE

The Wheel of Life represents the 12 areas in one’s life and the satisfaction
in each area. It is evident where one can improve the overall quality of
life. This is a self-completed chart and is ever changing.

MY TEMPERAMENT AND PERSONAL PRIORITIES

The Basic Temperament test establishes the basic temperaments,
personality traits, inherent to everyone (introvert vs extrovert, sensible/
practical vs intuitive/creative, thinking vs feeling and judicious vs perceptive/
spontaneous). The second portion of the above results represents where
one finds balance or stability vs adventure, learning and experience, new
situations and freedom. It also represents what motivates one personally.

MY TEMPERAMENT GIFTS

• You have a gift with people and are nourished by being around people.
This also means that you get your life energy from being with people.

• You have a gift of having an unusual understanding of both Sensible/
Practical people and Intuitive/Creative people (the ability to think both
ways and speak both languages). You use your intuition and creativity in
balanced proportion with your wisdom and knowledge of the past. You
are able to think outside the box and can be pragmatic to follow the rules
or guidelines.

• You have a gift of being able to use rational thought, rules, wisdom and
experience to guide you, but may temper judgements with some
empathy. You may be able to see both some of the rational as well as
some of the emotional aspect of situations.

• You have a gift of being able to either have a plan or flow with what is and
be spontaneous.

MY TEMPERAMENT NOURISHMENTS

• You are nourished by being with large groups of people and processing
info out loud.

• You are nourished by environments that provide structure and allow for
creativity.

• You are nourished by a balance of emotional support and rational logic.
• You are nourished by having a balance between planned and unplanned

or spontaneous events.

MY TEMPERAMENT BURNOUTS

• Your burnout is that you will get lonely and overwhelmed if you spend too
much time alone.

• Your burnout is too much micromanagement and not enough definition of
what is expected.

• Your burnout is environments of all logic and rational thought.
• Your burnout is having too much structure or too little spontaneity.
