View Full Version : What is you learning style?

Is it visual, auditory, kinesthetic, or something else? I'd say I'm very much kinesthetic since it seems I have a hard time learning anything unless I'm actually doing it myself.

I'm mostly kinesthetic too. Somebody could tell me directions... and I'd end up on the other side of town. :rolleyes:
Show me a map I'll get there after I get lost a couple types. But once I go a route I'll never forget it.

Well my style is pretty much fucked up. Sometimes I like to visualise some other times I can't understand something if I don't listen to it once or twice and some other times I have to just do it by myself...

Lots of people have told me that I rely on my gut for the answers, connections I make for my conclusions. Generally I don't know why I'm saying this or saying that it just comes to the top of my head. Subconcious is a ***** sometimes :laugh:

My style is mostly visual. If I have to memorise a path I can do so through viewing a map, or by memory, but not by hearing. If you tell me what to do I will forget about it, if I read what to do I will remember, and if I am taught what to do I will remember it for a long time.

My short-term memory is really bad so I can hardly remember things I hear unless they really catch my attention. And I don't really do anything, so I'll go with Visual.

I prefer Gardner's multiple intelligences over these learning styles listed because I can take a bunch of these tests and it will tell me I'm mostly a visual learner but when they describe it none of it sounds like me, to the point that taking learning style assessments makes me angry. When I took a multiple intelligences test, I scored as profoundly intrapersonal with a high level of musical as well, both of which make sense.

I don't really know. I've never done a test or anything. I often say things aloud when I'm working on my university work, and I find that helps me to work through the problem. I also like to do maths problems to cement things in my memory, instead of just reading about stuff. So maybe that suggests auditory and/or kinesthetic?

I honestly have no idea. I learn in multiple different ways depending on what it is.

Wow strange, I'm the only auditory learner. I can't really seem to understand difficult concepts unless I hear someone explain them to me.

I'm auditory as well. If I see something or read it, I cannot remember it very well. But as soon as I say it out loud, I can remember it much much better

Once I attempt to teach what I'm learning I end up exploring the gaps in my knowledge in order to articulate ideas as clearly as possible to the other person(s). With radical theory, usually the more abstract stuff, I often have to read many texts within the same tendency a few times in order to start patching up the gaps but if the theory is applied to current events or if I do this on my own I almost immediately grasp the concepts and can elaborate on them within the situation. I think this would be hands on real life experience with the theory being a supplement but a necessary one.

I tend to be more auditory than visual though it's a mix. I love lecture classes, learn way about stuff listening to someone talk about it than reading it in a book or whatnot.
