According to
Jung’s theory of personality there are four types of learning styles found
among the learners which are briefly given in the following sections.
1.
Extroversion
vs Introversion
According to this theory sixty percent
people are extroversion while forty percent are introvert. The people who are
extrovert learn things through direct experience. They enjoy working with others in groups and often gather ideas from outside sources. They are willing to lead, participate and offer
opinions and jump right in without guidance from others. While introverted people prefer to work alone, enjoy keep quiet and solitary work.
They often generate ideas
from internal sources.
They prefer to listen, watch and reflect and like to observe others before attempting a
new skill.
2. Sensation vs
intuition
There are sixty five percent sensing learners while
thirty five percent learn through intuition. Sensing learners focuses
on the present and do work practically on the basis reasons. They utilize
experience and common sense to solve problems and keenly observe the surrounding world. While intuition learners prefers
to work in short sessions, rather than finishing a task all at once. Such learners enjoy new
challenges, experiences and situations
and more likely to look at the big picture
rather than the details. They like
theories and abstract ideas.
3.
Thinking vs
feeling
According to the Carl Jung, 55 percent male and 35
percent female are thinking learners while 45 percent male and 65 percent
female are feeling learners. Thinking learners have the characteristics of being
interested
in logic and patterns. They dislike
basing decisions on emotions and their decisions
are based on reason
and logic. Feeling learners on the other
hand interested in people and their feelings and in tune with their own emotions and
those of other people. Their decisions
are based
on
immediate feelings. They generate excitement
and enthusiasm in group settings.
4.
Judging vs perceiving
This theory says that 45 percent learners are judging
and 55 percent learners are perceiving learners. Judging learners do
not like ambiguity or mystery and tend
to be firm in their decisions. They are
very organized and structured and keep strong
opinions. They generally follow
the rules. On the other hand perceiving
learners make impulsive decisions and change their decisions based on new information. They dislike
structure and organization and end
to be very flexible and adaptable. They sometimes
have trouble in making decisions.
