The Learning Type Measure (LTM)

The Learning Type Measure (LTM) is one of the most widely used tools in the world for profiling individual approaches to learning. It is an extraordinary tool for maximizing the creative and intellectual potential of your staff. With the LTM’s graphic overlay, you’ll construct easily interpreted representations of your personal strengths and weaknesses as a learner.

ltm-coverThe Learning Type Measure’s 26-point self report questionnaire measures individual preferences for selecting, organizing, prioritizing and representing knowledge, information and experience. It’s designed to help instructors, teachers, learning leaders or trainers…

  • map out strategies for improving individual potential
  • motivate learners with strategies crafted to their unique style
  • identify situations in which different people function most effectively
  • profile the strengths and weaknesses of teams

Research confirms the importance of using learning differences to help broaden instruction to appeal to a fuller range of students.

It is a moral imperative to develop learning environments that support the full range of learner development in culturally and experientially diverse society. This includes the emerging needs of Millennial Learners, those who crave more intuitive and dynamic approaches to learning.

The LTM will help you understand and appeal to a wider range of students and learn more about your own personal approach to learning. It is a wonderful tool for understanding and recognizing the different ways students learn.

Hemispheric Mode Indicator (HMI)

With the explosion of research on the positive effects of brain-based learning it is essential for trainers to understand how to develop training strategies that are more compatible with how the brain learns. Research shows that there are two different hemispheric functions and that effective training uses both types of processing strategies, both right mode and left mode. Commonly referred to as right- and left-brain approaches to learning, these two very different functions can form a powerful basis for improving classroom instruction.

And now you can measure individual preferences for these two different processing methods with the Hemispheric Mode Indicator (HMI).

HmiCoverThe HMI is a 32-unit self-scoring survey that identifies your preference for either right or left brain processing. Designed for easy scoring and administration, the HMI can be administered in less than 10 minutes. Includes a detailed description of right and left mode characteristics.
