Learning Personalities Quiz 3-5: Architect/Artist

Dec 26, 2012

Different children approach learning in different ways: some learn best by reading or listening, some by reasoning, some by seeing or creating images, and others by manipulating.  By discovering more about your child’s learning profile, you can help your child approach a more difficult topic by building off her areas of strength.  For example, if your child does best when she can “see” what is being asked of her, she can leverage mind maps or other visuals to learn.  Similarly, you can foster less utilized ways of learning by approaching an area of mastery through a less favored aspect of her learning profile.  Thus, you can encourage this same visual child to look for mathematical patterns, or ask her to write a story by way of a graphic novel.  Now that you have completed the survey, take a look at your child’s dominant way of approaching learning. 

 Architect/Artist

Your child probably learns in ways similar to the Architect/Artist.  Your child is probably good at solving puzzles, creating images in her mind, and taking advantage of spatial relationships.  She may also be skilled at preforming transformations or creating in three-dimensions.  Learning is easiest for Architects/Artists when it involves working with pictures, drawing, or imagery.  Being a visual learner, the Architect/Artist benefits from organizing things visually, such as through a mind map, video, or chart.  She often has a good sense of spatial direction with maps or in the environment.  Architect/Artists enjoy designing, and tend towards organizing space or objects.  

Young Architect/Artists tend to favor art and mixed media activities.  Painting, drawing, and coloring may be some of your child’s favorite pastimes.  Your child can likely imagine missing parts to pictures, such as when a portion of the ladder is partially “hidden” behind a truck in a drawing--Architect/Artists can fill in the missing pieces in her mind’s eye. Your child may notice more subtle differences that are irrelevant or unnoticed by others.  Since your child was very young, she likely brought her artwork over to you for approval, or to demonstrate her pride in her skill.  Many young Architect/Artists have strong fine motor skills for their age.
