What kind of learner are you?
Visual Learners
are neat and orderly
speak quickly
are good long-range planners and organisers
are observant of environmental detail
are appearance-oriented in both dress and presentation
are good spellers and can actually see the words in their minds
remember what was seen, rather than heard
memorise by visual association
usually are not distracted by noise
may forget verbal instructions unless they're written down
are strong, fast readers
would rather read than be read to
need an overall view and purpose and are cautious until mentally clear about an issue or project
forget to relay verbal messages to others
often know what to say but can't think of the right words
Auditory Learners
learn by listening, and remember what was discussed rather than seen
speak in rhythmic patterns
talk to themselves while working
are easily distracted by noise
move their lips and pronounce the words as they read
enjoy reading aloud and listening
can repeat back and mimic tone pitch and timbre
find writing difficult, but are better at telling
are frequently eloquent speakers
are talkative, love discussion, and go into lengthy descriptions
have problems with projects that involve visualisation
can spell better out loud than in writing
Kinesthetic Learners
learn by manipulating and doing
want to act things out
speak slowly
touch people to get their attention
stand close when talking to someone
are physically oriented and move a lot, gesture a lot
memorise by walking and seeing
can't sit still for long periods of time
can't remember geography unless they've actually been there
use action words
like plot-oriented books - they reflect action with body movement as they read
may have messy handwriting
like involved games
