Learning Profile: Logic Dominant

One day in Humanities, we learned all about how our brains function and what profile we are. I am a profile H which is logical dominant. Our brains are connected by the left side and the right side of the brain. For me personally, all of my body parts like my eyes, arms and ears are dominant on my left side. My legs are the only part of my body that is dominant on the right side. This can be helpful for me to cross logic and gestalt as most of them are on one side.

I found out that I learn best when it is quiet and I'm alone, I process better internally without external sensory. Sitting where I can work quietly and where I'm allowed to doodle or play with clay would benefit my learning also. When in a large group, I learn best when I am sitting where my left ear is facing the teacher. Personally, when the classroom is very loud it is difficult for me to concentrate, even if someone is tapping their pencil it is difficult.

Sometimes I need to move my hands or tap on a pencil to help process information or organize myself. When writing and/or feeling excited my right leg moves up and down fast and jerky.

To help my learning skills I would need a balance of art, music and freeform movement. I am already playing piano a lot which has helped me create new ideas for humanities and science. When I am relaxed I am emotionally and physically expressive and feel confident in what I am saying, however, when I am stressed it is very difficult for me to do that. When I need to communicate massaging the Mandibular Joint. An activity that would help would be blinking while tracking and hand work like knitting.

The thing I would like my teachers to know is that when under stress is difficult for me to see the details, listen and communicate well. Sometimes I think to much and get lost in the discussion so I won't really know what the people around me are talking about. This class on learning profiles was very interesting for me as I found out what helps me.
