Learning style

The learning style inventory, like many inventories, provided mixed results.  Some of the results I knew were inevitable; for instance, I knew the test would indicate I'm an independent learner because, in terms of schoolwork, I perform best when working alone.  The results also indicated that my reactions to work and learning tend to be more rational rather than emotion based, which is also a true statement about myself.

The results for my pragmatic versus creative approach are harder to comment on.  I am naturally someone who needs a black and white approach when learning something new.  For instance, when I first learned algebra, I was taught "baby algebra;" while this was supposed to be an effective method for easing newcomers into algebra, I found that when I was introduced to algebra via traditional teachings, I understood the material better.  

Yet I also have a side of me that very much loves creativity, which could be the reason why the results said I am not pragmatic.
