The Way They Learn by Cynthia Ulrich Tobias

2.0

May have some value for others, but did not benefit me. I started reading but ended up skimming. Tobias' basic theory is based on different learning styles. I found them confusing and just another example of a personality type test. If I had to choose one, I prefer Myers-Briggs, which isn't included here at all. I appreciate that God wired people differently and it's important to understand each other; however, I get a little wary when we are not encouraged to understand what character traits are results of the fall (and need to be changed by the Gospel) or what character traits are godly and reflect Jesus. For example, I think order is in the character of God (He always brings order out of chaos), so I'm not sure that people who say they "work best" in chaotic environments should never be encouraged to clean their desks or order their world. We need to find balance in how we were designed vs. how God wants us to be restored.
