Learning Styles

I'm not a true believer that by just answering some questions in an online test, a program will be able to accurately calculate my learning style.
I took the Index of Learning Style Test to determine what my learning styles were.  The results I got can be seen below.
According to the results above, I have a moderate preferance to reflective learning, I am fairly balanced between sensory/intuitive and visual/verbal learning and I have a moderate preference to sequential learning. I find the form (the Felder-Silverman model) in which the results have been given to be quite confusing and I don't really understand what this really means for me as a learner.

Felder and Soloman have given descriptions on these learning style preferences to help give a better understanding on the results people get.  According to this document, I am a reflective learner.  This means that I retain and remember information by thinking through the topic or problem before attempting to use the information actively.  I was quite surprised by this as when I forst got the results, I thought it meant that I learnt better by soley thinking things through, however it is true that I do like to think things through and have a vauge idea about what I want to do before getting my hands dirty.
Being both a sensory and intuitive learner is good as it means that I am more likely to be able to learn facts and methods but also be creative and think on my feet.
I am also both a visual and a verbal learner which means that I am more likely to retain information if it is provided in various forms including pictures, diagrams, text and spoken word.
I also sequentially rather than globally which means that I would rather work things out taking one step at a time rather than taking big leaps and no seeing connections and the problem as a whole.

Flashback...
Reading through this information reminded me of when I was in grade 11 and had a teacher who did not seem to understand that all students learn in different ways.  This teacher seemed to think that the best way to teach us was to give us a text book, some sheets of paper with crosswords other activities related to the subject and that was it.  She would walk around making sure we read the text and filled in the sheets until the lesson was over.  Many of us asked her to go through things with us and explain it so we could understand. Her response was that she learnt this way when she was at school and she obviously learnt it well as she was now a teacher.  Nothing changed and many people ended up dropping out of the class so we ended up talking to the HOD (Head of Department) who then spoke to her... and then we had to cram a terms worth of information into one lesson with the HOD before our final exam.  I have to say, I've never been so stressed about an exam.
