Personality Type

I think that a person's personality type plays a large role in the way they learn. A more introverted student is unlikely to learn by working with groups on projects, and a social person is less likely to learn from just reading books and attempting to teach themselves.

Knowing a student's personality type can help you determine the best way to get through to a particular student. If a student is having problems in your class, this information can show you how you can better help this student.
