Bornlearning.co.uk is a vehicle for sharing our passionate interest in learning, and how it works.
The 'Mercury Model' is the result of many years of leading edge research by our team, who have combined decades of diverse skills and professional experience. Our exploration of the learning process has taken a non-traditional approach and may be described as fundamental research in "the new physics of thought". We reach back to the mythic theme of the great god Mercury, link it with modern archetypal images, and describe unique "mercurial" qualities of mental activity. And it works! The Lifelong Learning Profiles available on this website reveal an individual' s own special way of working with information - thinking, learning and communicating.
We offer you our Lifelong Learning Profiles as attractive, personalised gifts for all the special people in your life.
We offer you little bits of information, Tasters, about your own personal mental strengths, free of charge. We hope you enjoy this interactive facet of our website. Have fun with it. Perhaps you will discover something new about your child, your grandparents, your boss, your best friend or yourself.
We invite you to visit our Discussion Forum, where you will find information on the mental styles of people whose names you recognize. We invite your comments, suggestions and participation.
