absent-minded.

decisions and like to do things in an orderly
fashion.

more often than not, very good with people.

=They are spontaneous, creative and more emotional than left-brainers, often pondering and acting on their
feelings.

intuitive. They focus on making sure the spaces that we
create are both functional and beautiful. They listen,
interpret the data and then, in collaboration with our
left-brainers, they make sure that the design concept
fixes your current office space challenges.

Q

The five-step study strategy has helped many learners achieve success

A
  1. Survey: before you start to read, quickly look through the whole chapter. Look at the headings, pictures, introduction and summaries. After this, this should give you an idea of what the chapter is about.
  2. Question: Ask questions. You can turn the headings into questions. Write these questions down. This should give you an idea of the questions you can expect.
  3. Read actively: Read with the aim of looking for answers to your questions. Underline difficult words and ideas. If you may not write in the textbook make notes elsewhere. This should keep you focused
  4. Recite and write: Say aloud what the main points are that you have read. Write these down. These points should include the possible exam questions, such as the facts or important parts of the text. Visual and aural methods improve your memory
  5. Review: Test yourself by covering up the core facts and answers to questions. See if you can recite the facts and remember what you read. Give written answers to at least some of the questions. Mark your work and repeat this exercise until you know this chapter well. Review your notes and repeat what you learnt every three days, otherwise you may forget. It will be quicker each time as you get to know the work better. Constant revision helps you
    remember.
