Upon learning the results of the quiz, he or she can decide how to tailor their learning to better suite their understandings.

I agree with the MI quiz results for me, because I believe I use reasoning skills, logical thinking and enjoy learning the science behind how things work.

When there are patterns in situations, I am able to see the logic and see how the final result. My current career path is in the Cardiology space of the medical field. I use the logic in situation, action, and result mentality almost daily. I was just at a training course for a new procedure and technique that will help benefit patients that were merely treated with medicines in the past. During this course, I
