Learning Style Test

Question
I often take reasonable risks if I feel it is justified
I tend to solve problems using a step by step approach and avoid any fanciful ideas
I have a reputation of having a no-nonsense direct style
I often find that actions based on feelings are as sound as those on careful thoughts and analysis
The key factor in judging a proposed idea or solution is whether or not it works in practice
When I hear about a new idea or approach I like to start working out how to apply it in practice
I like to follow a self disciplined approach, establish clear processes and logical thinking patterns
I take pride in doing a methodical job
I get on best with logical, analytical people and less with spontaneous irrational people
I take care over the interpretation of data and avoid jumping to conclusions
I like to reach a decision after considering my alternatives
I am attracted more to new unusual ideas than to practical ones
I dislike situations that cannot fit into a coherent pattern
I like to relate my actions to general principles
In meetings I have a reputation for going straight to the point, no matter what others feel
I prefer to have as many sources of information as possible, the more the better
Flippant people who cannot take things seriously usually irritate me
I prefer to respond to events spontaneously, rather than plan things out in advance
I dislike having to present my conclusions under time pressure or rigid deadlines, when I could have spent more time thinking about the problem
I usually judge other people's ideas on their practical merits
I often get irritated by people who want to rush headlong into things
The present is much more important than thinking about the past or future
I think that decisions based on the analysis of the information are sounder than those based on intuition
In meetings I enjoy contributing ideas to the group
On balance I tend to talk more than I should and I need to develop my listening skills
In meetings I get very impatient with people who loose sight of the objective
I enjoy communicating my ideas and opinions to others
People in meetings should be realistic, keep to the point and avoid in indulging in fanciful ideas
I like to consider many alternatives before making up my mind
Considering the way my colleagues react in meetings I believe I am more objective and unemotional
In meetings I am more likely to keep in the background than to take the lead and do most of the talking
I prefer to do the listening than talking
Most times I believe the end justifies the mean
Reaching the group's objectives should take precedence over individual feelings and objections
I do whatever seems necessary to get the job done
I quickly get bored with methodical, detailed work
I am keen on exploring the basic principles and theories underpinning events
I like meetings to be run on methodical lines, sticking to the agreed agenda
I steer clear of subjective or ambiguous topics
I enjoy the drama and excitement of a crisis
