Hello Dr. Marshall-Stuart
My favourite audio for Inspiration, Goal Setting, and Self-Reflection is Beethoven Moonlight Sonata the two hours version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVAqHvxz7ao

I love to listen to the audio at night to help me to unwind and go sleep, to study or to calm my mind when making some decisions. The melody is very soothing. In fact, I even play this audio while driving to work in the mornings, as it helps with traffic jams.

4. Ice Breaker - VARK and The Big 5
Sunday 26 January, 2020
Good evening everyone,

The VARK Questionnarie
I took the VARK Online Questionnaire Assessment.  My VARK Results scores were:
Visual 12, Aural 13, Read/Write 16, Kinesthetic 14.

My learning preference: Multimodal (VARK). It also stated that people with my preference like:
     "different formats, graphs, diagrams, maps, interesting layouts, space, listening, discussing, talking, questioning, notes, handouts, print, text, practical exercises, experiences, examples, case studies, trial and error, things that are real" (VARK Learn Limited, 2020).

The Big 5 Personality Test
I took The Big 5 Personality Test.  My test results  
Openness 100%, Conscientiousness 100%, Extraversion 46%, Agreeableness 96%, Neuroticism 10%,

My Core Pattern is a reflection of my core values and motivations, as well as the way I think about things.  The dominant one in EMPATHIC IDEALIST which states that I uses insight and creativity to help others. Thinks about how the world could be a better and more beautiful place "(Truity, 2019).

My other three areas PRACTICAL CARETAKER, ANALYTICAL THINKER and LOGICAL MECHANIC all are equal on the circumplex.

PRACTICAL CARETAKER. "Helps other people in practical, everyday ways. Uses established institutions to maintain stability and security" (Truity, 2019).

ANALYTICAL THINKER. "Solves logical problems with rational, complex analysis. Thinks about innovative ways to improve systems" (Truity, 2019).

LOGICAL MECHANIC. "Ensures accuracy and efficiency in logical systems. Uses proven methods to accomplish real-world goals" (Truity, 2019).

Ilonka

People with high levels of openness to experience are much more likely than average to be characterized by others as smart, creative, exploratory, intelligent and visionary. They are highly interested in learning, and continually acquire new abilities and skills. They are very curious and exploratory.
