Learning/Study Preferences for
(I)ntroverted Law Students
Adapted from Gordon Lawrence, People Types and Tiger Stripes
43 (1992).
Cognitive Style:
The introverted law student favors a cognitive style that involves: |
 | -quiet reflection, |
| -keeping one's thought inside until they
are polished, |
| -letting attention flow inward, |
| -being engrossed in inner events: ideas, impressions,
concepts, and |
| -learning in private, individual ways.
|
|
Study Style:
The introverted law student favors a study style that involves: |
| -reflecting first, acting after (if necessary), |
| -looking for new data to fit into the internal
dialogue that is always going on, |
| -working privately -- perhaps checking one's work
with someone who is trusted, |
| -reading as the main way of studying, |
| -listening to others talk about the topic being
studied, and privately processing what they take in, and |
| -extraverting just when they choose to.
|
|
Instruction that fits I's:
Introverted law students do their best work when: |
| -working internally with their own thoughts:
listening, observing, lab work, reading, writing, |
| -processing their experiences at their own pace, |
| -presenting the results of their work in forms
that let them keep their privacy, |
| -having ample time to polish their work before
needing to present it, |
| -having time to reflect before answering the teacher's
questions, and |
| -tieing their studies to their own personal interests,
their internal agenda.
