Kolb's Learning circle

Where do you fit in this circle and how will this knowledge affect the sort of things you try
in the next 12 months?

There are four types of learner according to Kolb's learning circle.

*Activist, draws on concrete experience, prefers doing and experiencing.

*Reflector, draws on reflective observation,

*Theorist, draws on abstract conceptualization. Wants to know underlying reasons, concepts and relationships 

*Finally Pragmatist, draws on active experimentation. Learns by doing and "having a go"

Where you come in on this circle acts as a guide, or template as you will, as to the best course of action to take in order to further your work.

In my opinion I fall in the Theorist category. I Have come to this conclusion based upon my inquisitive nature. I like to know how things tick. I enjoy theory. Be it film theory, narrative theory etc. I like to find out why people animate, write, film or paint what they do. This I feel can some times be as much a negative as a positive as it means often I over analyze. 

I feel that perhaps I could attempt to push more into the Pragmatist category my work would seriously benefit. Also it may allow me to communicate my ideas a little more clearly. I tend to rely on verbally articulating my ideas.
