Birmingham Grid

The Birmingham Grid shows that I like to learn both when working alone and working with others. My past experience working alone and with others makes me believe what was shown on the grid. When I work with others, I can think of new and creative ideas. When I work alone, I am able to concentrate and give it the best . Besides interpersonal and intrapersonal, I also like to learn with nature which is an inherited trait from my parents. The grid says I like to learn using logic and numbers also, which is somehow true because logic helps me understand a lot more rather than using simple pictures (Visual/ Spatial) which seems to be the least-preferred way I want to learn. In my opinion, I believe that pictures cannot explain deeply into the subject. I like to learn with music a little more than image because music helps me remember things I learned about or list of things of a category  such as the 50 states of America in alphabetical order. The only thing I don't really agree with in the grid is kinaesthetic (body smart). I think I understand a lot more when I perform and analyze experiment or involve body action in my learning. I really feel that this grid is very useful to me because it shows which way I like to learn and helps to make me get to know myself more (what kind of a learner i am). I'm sure this grid will help me with my learning somehow.
