My learning pattern scores were: Sequence: 25, Precision: 24, Technical Reasoning: 25, and Confluence: 26. When using my sequence I was able to list tasks I needed to do from importance to not important. I usually used my precision pattern whenever I would have to do assignments. I always make sure I had all the information I needed to complete it. Technical Reasoning came in and helped me with my problem-solving skills. Finally, my confluence was there to help me come up with ideas to get whatever task I needed to get done.
I think my learning patterns go together well. In the military we always have issues with equipment breaking. Whenever an equipment breaks, I use all four of my learning patterns to get the job completed.

I use my precision and confluence to figure out what exactly is wrong with the broken equipment and to write down in a list all the tools and parts we need to fix it. During the
