The Learning Style Inventory

An instrument to measure individual learning styles. Your learning style is the unique way in which you go about gathering information, sorting it out, and making decisions. You are more likely to find meaning and satisfaction in your life and work if you are aware of your best and most enjoyable style of learning.

This instrument is useful whenever you want to help people understand themselves and others, to help understand how people see the same thing differently and to help groups work well together. Many trainers have found this a useful tool for diversity training.

The four learning styles are enthusiastic, imaginative, logical, practical. To show how different they are, here is a description of how all four learning styles approach a new experience.

New Experience: Rapelling Down Cliffs

Enthusiastic Learners
Is the first to volunteer
Puts on the ropes and goes
When over the edge, yells "How did I get myself into this?"

Imaginative Learners
Observes where first person over the edge put her feet
Watches the progress of others down the cliff
Images oneself relaxed and hanging from the edge of the cliff

Logical Learners
Reads books, articles on subject, safety record
Brings books along on trip for reference
Finally goes over the cliff

Practical Learners
Asks about the principles of the sport to test confidence in leaders
Checks the ropes
Goes for it

Faith Styles Inventory

This inventory is an easy and intriguing way to find out more about our faith and how it differs from others. Why doesn't everyone raise their hands in praise, why do we pray differently, why do some people like to build houses and go on mission trips and others don’t? 

 This inventory explores four different approaches to faith, to worship, to prayer and to social action: Nurturers, Connectors, Thinkers and Developers. Easy to take, score, and interpret. An entry-level tool for those who want to understand their own faith style.

Spiritual Life Inventory

The SLI describes how you see yourself on the spiritual journey, using seven phases: Recognition of God, the Life of Discipleship, the Productive Life, The Journey Inward, The Wall, The Journey Outward, The Life of Love. The Spiritual Life Inventory complements the ideas and behaviors described in Janet Hagberg and Robert Guelich’s book Critical Journey.

We move along phases and repeat them in an ever widening spiral as we experience the breadth and depth of our spiritual lives.

These stages of our spiritual life address one or all of the following issues: 1) the struggle to find meaning and wholeness, 2) the crisis of values and identity at midlife, 3) questions about our spiritual journey, 4) the quest for self-actualization and 5) the healing of early religious experiences.

You answer 91 questions on a scale of 1-5 (1=Not descriptive of me to 5=Very descriptive of me) and plot your scores on an answer grid.

Sample Questions

My awe of God makes me feel so insignificant
I choose to do anything God asks whether menial or prestigious
I feel responsible to lead others to my faith
