Personal Reflection On Personality Characteristics

I find taking personality tests very interesting. One part of the previous assignment, was to complete the Holland test. I was asked to choose characteristics from six different categories. The categories with the highest amounts of checks were artistic, conventional, and social. I agree with the test that I am artistic and conventional. However, I do not agree with social. This was surprising to me. I think I am social to a certain point. I do not hate people but being around some for too long bothers me.

Sometimes I feel that I do not have enough time to actual study for assignments. I feel that implement some active listening strategies may help. Only three of my classes are lecture based. I learn more in the classes that require to actively doing something instead of just sitting. Something I have noticed this semester is that writing down notes does not help learn the actual content. I find this really strange. When I was a freshman, I had to take notes on everything to understand the content. Currently, I find that if I type out my notes and add photos to them in OneNote, I retain so much more of the content. I am more of a visual person anyway so seeing digitally without having a large amount of prints helps me stay more organized as
