Kolb in 5 min --> I'm a diverger

Submitted by Janet Scannell on Mon, 07/20/2009 - 3:42pm.

My take on Kolb's learning styles is that I'm a diverger. I'm also an "S" in the MyersBriggs (as opposed to "N") which is a Sensor as opposed to an iNtuitive. Sensors and Divergers like to gather data. 

I found the other spectrum, the processing scale, to be very interesting. I connect with the "reflective" end rather than the "active" end - exploration with conversation sums me up well.  I haven't heard of another learning or behavior model with this take on how one integrates information. I find this useful.

I've been so involved with the scientific method that I must've figured out how to compensate for whichever aspect would 'normally' be difficult for a diverger.
