Personality and Learning Portfolio

PERSONALITY AND LEARNING PORTFOLIO

Who Are You?

What Are Your Strengths?

How Do You Learn?

Rationale: Personality, intelligence, and our views of others and ourselves as learners can be too easily reduced to labels. To understand ourselves we must go beyond labels and attempt to truly understand our strengths, intelligences, and personality. This exercise is designed to provide you with a glimpse of yourself and your work and a chance to reflect on progress. This is not an assessment of what you have already done – it assesses how you view what you have done and how you apply this information to continue making progress in the learning process.

Task: You will create a portfolio to represent your personality and current standing as a learner. It will include examples of your work, inventories and personality tests, and reflection and application exercises. The final product will take the form of a magazine or folder. It is due: ______.
