Learning/Study Preferences for
(I)ntroverted Law Students
Adapted from Gordon Lawrence, People Types and Tiger Stripes
43 (1992).
Cognitive Style:
The introverted law student favors a cognitive style that involves: |
- -quiet reflection,
- -keeping one's thought inside until they
are polished,
- -letting attention flow inward,
- -being engrossed in inner events: ideas, impressions,
concepts, and
- -learning in private, individual ways.
|
Study Style:
The introverted law student favors a study style that involves: |
- -reflecting first, acting after (if necessary),
- -looking for new data to fit into the internal
dialogue that is always going on,
- -working privately -- perhaps checking one's work
with someone who is trusted,
- -reading as the main way of studying,
- -listening to others talk about the topic being
studied, and privately processing what they take in, and
- -extraverting just when they choose to.
|
Instruction that fits I's:
Introverted law students do their best work when: |
- -working internally with their own thoughts:
listening, observing, lab work, reading, writing,
- -processing their experiences at their own pace,
- -presenting the results of their work in forms
that let them keep their privacy,
- -having ample time to polish their work before
needing to present it,
- -having time to reflect before answering the teacher's
questions, and
- -tieing their studies to their own personal interests,
their internal agenda.
