By now, you've likely come across the Two-Pot System, a novel retirement savings approach in South Africa. This system divides your retirement contributions into two parts: a savings pot and a retirement pot. In essence, it allows you to access a portion of your retirement savings for emergencies while preserving the bulk of your savings for retirement.
When you first heard about the Two-Pot System, what initial question crossed your mind? Did you find yourself pondering:
What can this become?
Why?
How does this work?
How does this link to what is?
These questions can offer insights into your dominant learning style. Let's delve into what each question signifies and how it correlates with the four well-understood learning styles:
What can this become? (Accommodator)
If your initial thought revolved around the potential and future possibilities of the Two-Pot System, you might resonate with the traits of an Accommodator. Accommodators are action-oriented individuals who thrive on new experiences and challenges. They prefer hands-on learning and are highly adaptable and flexible.
Why? (Diverger)
If you found yourself questioning the reasons behind the introduction of the Two-Pot System, you may lean towards the Diverger learning style. Divergers are curious and imaginative, excelling at viewing situations from various perspectives and generating creative ideas.
How does this work? (Converger)
If your immediate concern was to understand the mechanics and functionality of the Two-Pot System, your learning style might align with that of a Converger. Convergers are practical and adept at problem-solving tasks, preferring to understand technical concepts and apply them in a practical context.
How does this link to what is? (Assimilator)
If your interest lies in understanding how the Two-Pot System integrates with existing systems and knowledge, you may lean towards the traits of an Assimilator. Assimilators are logical and analytical individuals who excel at organizing information and integrating new knowledge with their existing understanding.
Recognizing which question resonated most with you can provide valuable insights into your dominant learning style. This understanding can help you leverage your strengths and effectively approach new information and challenges.
Now think about the last course you attended. Did it cater to your learning style? How did that make you feel? You may have felt less engaged than you would have been if the course had been tailored to your learning style.
