Personality & Learning Styles (Quizzes, and Other Things Like That)

In our Social Studies class at school, we have been finding out out learning style and personality type. I think it's extremely enjoyable, because normally Social Studies is my most boring class.
Tuesday, we found out our learning styles using the V.A.R.K (Visual Auditory Read/Write Kynesthetic) method. I was a read/write learner. Everyone in the class except for my friend and me was Multi-Modal, which means they can learn in more than one way. Unfortunately, both my Friend and I have very strong preferences for our learning style of choice (she was visual, if you were wondering.) So basically we're stupid if we can't have what we want. Lovely.
Yesterday, we found out our personalty type using the Gregorc method. People are either Concrete Sequential, Concrete Random, Abstract Sequential, and Abstract Random. Concrete means that you think in the physical state. Abstract means that you are able to think beyond what is in front of your eyes. Sequential means you have an order to your thinking, and Random is where there is no order to your thought process. I am Abstract Sequential, and the traits I read about it fit pretty well. It also says that I don't like people who are random, and when I asked the people by whom I am annoyed what they were, they were all Randoms. I agree with Mr. Gregorc.
I think it's pretty exciting to find out these things I didn't know about myself, but they're not always true.
Don't believe everything you read on the Internet, kids.
