"In a way, it doesn't [matter necessarily]: the four categories are not fixed and there have been other studies which have extended the groupings further." (Gould et al., 2021, p.3)

• Key message: "... it is important to understand your own capabilities, both what you can do well and what you struggle with ..." (p.3)

Write a personal review of yourself in the third person, outlining your attributes and weakness as a learner.
