The age old “chicken or the egg” debate. Do we have a keener interest in a subject area because it comes easier to us or does it come easier to us because we are interested in it? As far as learning profiles go they are generally three types: 1) Those with moderately to substatially higher verbal as oppossed to nonverbal skills 2) Those with higher nonverbal as oppossed to verbal 3) Those with approximately equal skills. Those in categories 2 & 3 tend to graviate to majors & careers in STEM, those in 1 tend to gravitate towards social sciences, education, law, etc. the most gifted students tend to be in group 3, since they have the ability in both verbal & nonverbal areas to excell in most any subject area. Those in 1 & 2 are “wired” to be more successfull in subjects which match their strengths.
