prompter: What are the personality traits that are beneficial for, and boosts, the process of "learning by doing" in terms of learning techniques?
assistant: Personality traits are inclinations of people towards certain types of actions. For them to be beneficial towards boosting learning by doing, they must increase the quality and quantity of actions that lead to learning by doing. The first trait that can do so is being energetic. Doing things requires mental and physical energy and being energetic makes it easier to boost learning by doing, by making it easier for a person to do things. It is important to note that because personality traits are based on likelihood to do certain actions, they are not fixed, and change as people learn new behaviors and knowledge which makes them act differently. For example, the trait of being energetic can be boosted by learning that the work a person does is more meaningful than they realized, causing them to see a higher reward in doing the work. Another personality trait that is beneficial for and boosts the process of learning by doing is attention to detail. Learning is heavily based on understanding the concepts behind a process, which regularly incorporate details that are highly important to the understanding of the process. For example, a person without attention to detail may read an instruction manual for a new car and skip over a section on the controls for the windshield wipers, while a person with attention to detail would read the instructions carefully. When rain occurs, the person without attention to detail would try to press the location the windshield wiper buttons were in their previous car and fail because they are not located in the same place, while a person with attention to detail would be able to locate the correct button in the same situation. To use this trait to boost learning by doing, you could test the knowledge you pay attention to after you learn it. In the above example, after reading the detail of where the windshield wiper button is located, a person who learns by doing would then press the button on the windshield and then confirm their knowledge. One way to increase a person's attention to detail would be to have them ask themselves if they understand what they have just been taught. This will allow them to catch when they miss details, and lead to them paying more attention to other details in the future. Finally, the willingness to learn is perhaps the most important personality trait. Learning is never a straightforward process and the difficulty discourages most learners, even when they want to learn something. A person with willingness to learn will face the same difficulties as someone who does not have it, but upon encountering the difficulties, the person with willingness to learn will keep trying to learn while the person without that willingness is more likely to simply give up. One method to increase willingness to learn is to list the reasons that you believe learning a subject is important. There is always at least one good reason to learn anything, and finding it can help a person greatly to learn that thing. In summary, having the personality traits of being energetic, attention to detail, and willingness to learn, will boost a person's ability to learn by doing, and those traits can always be acquired if they are not present or improved to be stronger.
