How does knowing my Learning Patterns add to what I know about myself?

Having knowledge about how I learn helps me be better equipped at going about specific tasks that ask something of me but on a different scale. The test that we all had to take, I felt, was a great idea because sometimes it is true that I have a very hard time describing myself especially when it comes  to learning. I find that I get very intimidated and then I shut down and do not say anything because I am scared to ask questions thinking I look weird or whatever and stuff. So, in having this knowledge on how my brain functions and how I can be better productive in learning new information adds to my self awareness inasmuch as me knowing more about who I am as a person from a more critical thinker.
