Total the number of “A” responses in items 1-11: _____ This is your visual score
Total the number of “A” responses in items 12-22: _____ This is your auditory score
Total the number of “A” responses in items 23-33: _____ This is you tactile/kinesthetic score
If you scored a lot higher in any one area: This indicates that this modality is very probably your preference during a protracted and complex learning situation.
If you scored a lot lower in any one area: This indicates that this modality is not likely to be your preference(s) in a learning situation.
If you got similar scores in all three areas: This indicates that you can learn things in almost any way they are presented.

Where does your true intelligence (processing ability) lie? This self-assessment can help you determine where you stand. Read each statement. On the line in front of each statement, write T, F, or leave it blank.. If the statement expresses some characteristic of yours and sounds true for the most part write a T.If the statement doesn’t sound like you, mark an F. If the statement is sometimes true, sometimes false, leave it blank.

Personality Array Interaction Inventory
Usually, one or two personality components tend to greatly influence the way a person sees the world and responds to it. Every personality type has strengths that will be helpful in group settings. However, all personality types have traits that can make collaboration difficult. Understanding and appreciating our personality traits can help us to work together as a team much more effectively. Being aware of our own personality pitfalls can help us to keep those behaviors in check.
A person who is primarily like Winnie is caring, nurturing and sensitive.
A person who is primarily like Rabbit is organized, logical and thinking-oriented.
A person who is primarily like Tigger is enthusiastic, spontaneous and action-oriented.
A person who is primarily like Eeyore is insightful, reflective and observant.
The chart below describes the strengths and pitfalls of each personality type.

For Educator’s Eyes Only!
Personal Objectives/Personality Components Teacher and student personalities are a critical element in the classroom dynamic. The Array Model (Knaupp, 1995) identifies four personality components; however, one or two components(s) tend to greatly influence the way a person sees the world and responds to it. A person whose primary Personal Objective of Production is organized, logical and thinking-oriented. A person whose primary Personal Objective is Connection is enthusiastic, spontaneous and action-oriented. A person whose primary Personal Objective is Status Quo is insightful, reflective and observant. Figure 3.1 presents the Array model descriptors and offers specific Cooperative and Reluctant behaviors from each personal objective.
