Learning Diagnostic Test

Last week, I took a learning style diagnostic test on http://is.gd/62AV6. I had to answer forty questions about myself. Below are two pie charts. The pie chart on the left are my results. For comparison, I have included a pie chart (right) of an average kid's results.

As you can see from the pie chart, I am not really good at writing or solving challenging Math problems. An average boy of my age scores 14 for Linguistic and 15 for Logical, compared to my score of just 7 for each category! Well, on the brighter side, I have an edge when it comes to Naturalistic and Kinesthetic. According to the tests, I am more hands-on and musical.

If you are interested to find out your learning style, go to the above-mentioned website. Click on the link in #1 to attempt the questionnaire. Next, copy the code and type it into the results page to obtain your very own pie chart. Remember, you have to be truthful when answering the questions in order to obtain an accurate results. With the chart, you will have a better understanding of your strength and weaknesses and adopt a suitable learning method to help you excel.

Plagarism

I admit I committed plagiarism when I was in Primary School. That is because I did not realise what plagiarism is. I only knew what it meant, recently, when my English teacher explained what it is and the seriousness of plagiarism.

Many people would go to the internet to do research, copy the information and use it as their own. This is the same as stealing. I advise all of you never to do it or if you are doing it, stop now. It may be the easy way out especially if you are rushing to finish a project on time, but stealing somebody's work or ideas is dishonest.

If you are caught plagiarising, it is not only embarrassing, you may be sued by the original author. Do not think that nobody will know where you have copied the work from. There will always be someone who may evenutally discover it.

For those who want to know what plagiarism is, please note the following:-
- copying someone's work as your own
- failing to put a quotation in quotation marks
- changing the words but copying the sentence structure of a source without giving credit to the author

If anyone of you has done the above, it is not too late to change. Stop plagiarising immediately. Put in more effort and time to do your project or work. Same for me!
