The lake’s surface was still, and like a mirror, reflected the clouds, sun, and trees perfectly. Occasionally, a fish caused a ripple in the water that spread out in wider and wider rings and then disappeared. A deer stood quietly on the bank, watching me intently. As I lay on the bank of the river, eyes closed, I could hear the fish disturbing the water as they came to the surface. A slight breeze created a rustling noise in the trees, and the distant buzz of a fishing reel being cast told me I was not alone. The chilly water lapped around my knees as I baited my hook with the cold, squirming worm. I drew my arm back and quickly snapped it forward letting the line fly and then plop into the water. Soon, I hoped, I would feel the tug of a fish on my line. 4 / 15 The best way for me to learn how something works is to: have someone show me. talk it through with another person. figure it out on my own through trial and error. 5 / 15 In a training session, I learn or remember best when the instructor: gives an in-depth explanation of new content. uses lots of imagery in their slides and a video to present information. puts students in groups to work on a task/project related to new content. 6 / 15 When assembling something/a piece of furniture, I prefer: to leave the instructions in the box, lay out all the parts and figure it out as I go. graphic/visual step-by-step instructions with few words showing how to assemble. written, step-by-step instructions that I can read out loud/talk myself through. 7 / 15 I understand how to play a game best when: I play and figure it out as I go.

The stadium was filled with cheering fans who were loudly supporting their teams, chanting and clapping. As the players ran onto the field to take their positions, the cheerleaders started to perform, jumping and engaging the crowd. The home team’s colors flooded most of the stadium, with fans wearing jerseys and hats to show their support. 11 / 15 When I need to drive to a place I’ve never been before, I prefer to: look at the whole route first then zoom in on the navigation app. listen to directions from a navigation app. find out where the location is in relation to another location I already know and just go. 12 / 15 To understand how a machine works, I prefer to: look at diagrams that show how how the machine works before starting. use the machine and figure it out. have someone explain it to me. 13 / 15 If an appliance I owned stopped working properly, I would: have someone explain to me how to fix the problem. read about how to fix the problem before attempting to fix it. try to fix it through trial and error. 14 / 15 Which do you prefer?
