What these tests [and school in general] fail to realize, is that people operate differently. I personally can't stand paperwork, but can go on in discussions and debates until I collapse from sleep deprivation. This, naturally, makes me a poor student. I have a good friend, who is probably one of the most intelligent beings I have ever had the pleasure to speak to, and gets horrible grades. If I asked him to write me a 10 page thesis on any philosoph, economy, political system, he would undoubtedly knock the socks off of the likes of Chomsky, etc. But, his studies always suffer. The same goes for me [minus genious]. Which I find totally unfair. The last time my 'learning style' was addressed was back in 8th grade when we did some half-assed study on how we learned best.
