Davaughn Hailey October 17, 2010 GEN/105 Week 8 Assignment Study Techniques After reviewing my results for the two tests taken I see that I have three intelligences that stand out more than others. After seeing the multiple pathways assessment I instantly thought to myself the different study techniques I already have and thinks work better than others, and compared it to what I might change after seeing where my results place me on the intelligence chart. After completing the first assessment I see that my bodily, musical, and verbal intelligences stand out. Currently I feel that I do need some type of help with my study and work habits at the moment, I think they are good enough to last for the minute. So as read in the book it shows that the study habits for one with musical intelligence should go as follows, frequently tapping a beat out, writing music, putting new material to those songs you may already know, and create some type of rhythm out of your words. I feel I do all of this but not to the best of my ability and am currently trying to figure out how to perfect what I'm doing. I write a different rap almost everyday, I love it, I sometimes find myself as using writing music as a way to vent and release some stress of a certain situation I may be dwelling on. In order to study for bodily intelligence one must, I at one point of time figured since I would move around while writing a rap as if I were performing the song right then and there figured many cannot do what I do. It shows one should be able to learn from bodily movement as well as written information given. In order to study for that of a verbal intelligence as I do one should take notes while reading, while doing so one may outline chapters highlighting no more than ten percent of the material read. Someone who is verbally intelligent can find it very easy to lead and teach others a certain subject. And the ability to recite information is something that would come as natural as a smile. While reviewing my results from the personality spectrum assessment I found that, I all of my results are near similar but two that stand out is the fact that I am a thinker and an organizer. In order to be a thinker a few things listed is, solving problems, ingenuity, going beyond the boundaries. And some study techniques that was showed was, learning from the problem solving, the minimization of being repetitive, and the ability to designing new approaches to different situations. As stated a few things for someone who is considered to be an organizer is, responsibility, neatness, and loyalty. This is just a few, some study techniques for this one would be, sometimes using a planner and other things of that nature. I find myself organizing everything that I do now a days. I find this way much more easier seeing that if its written down I could see any mistakes I made in the week instead of trying to think back and possibly overlooking an important point of the day. Knowing these things makes it easier for one to apply different techniques and learning styles to everyday life. I find myself a step ahead of everyone just for the fact that in order to make it you must have a strong willed attitude, its you then the rest this way making it in the industry(music/hip hop) becomes your main goal other than being sidetracked by your next accomplishment you will keep it moving. Applying these skills to a collaborative environment means for one to be able to easily become a team player.
