What is your Learning Style?

[luminous beam]

I don't think I've come across a thread about this. I was wondering what personality types are most likely to have one of these three main learning styles: visual, auditory, kinesthetic.

You can take this 16 question quiz to help you figure things out or just go directly to the summary of these three types and choose which fits you the best. This site I found seemed pretty easy to follow and to the point. Feel free to link us to any others that might be helpful.

[1487610420]

Lazy & scattered.

 

[miss fortune]

I've always been one for jumping in and giving it a whirl in order to learn it... I tend to zone out whenever someone lectures me or shows me how something is done, kinesthetic falls into my attention span a bit better!

 

[PuddleRiver]

I got Visual

[EcK]

visual = kine

 

[Such Irony]

Kinestetic > Visual > Auditory

 

[RaptorWizard]

I'm too lazy to take a quiz, but I like to see myself as a tenacious visionary orenited towards action, so that would make my learning style visual.

What that means is I can make manifest my conceptualizations from the fleeting images of my dreams.

Turns out I'm KVA.

 

[greenfairy]

visual/kinesthetic/auditory

 

[iNtrovert]

Visual

 

[Stephano]

visual/kinesthetic/auditory

I have 10/16 points on visual, 4/16 on kinesthetic and 2/16 on auditory.

I don't think I've come across a thread about this. I was wondering what personality types are most likely to have one of these three main learning styles: visual, auditory, kinesthetic.

I don't think it depends on personality. My INFP friend talks to him self when learning (auditory?), while I don't.

 

[cafe]

Auditory

 

[ehcriktic]

I believe it's kinesthetic and visual.

 

[Chaotic Harmony]

I don't need a quiz to know that I'm definitely more on the kinesthetic side. Auditory is the worst for me.

 

[Infinite Bubble]

Massively visual.

 

[Randomnity]

Visual>Kinetic>>>>>>>>>>>>>auditory

(I am the worst listener ever)

 

[Orangey]

Auditory, kinesthetic...visual last. I have a much easier time remembering information that I've heard than anything else. It takes effort for me to memorize things verbatim from the page, whereas it's almost effortless to remember things spoken. That's why I read aloud to myself if I'm going for thorough memorization. It's also why I prefer language classes in person (where you get to hear the prof speak) or audio language programs over stuff like the Rosetta Stone.

I've found that I don't like listening to people a lot of the time, but that's because I either already know what they're going to say (and they're taking a fucking long ass time to say it) or they're repeating themselves because they're used to talking to folks who truly don't listen (and they think that I, like those folks, need to hear things a thousand times before any of it sinks in.) I can honestly even just passively or half-heartedly listen to people and I'll still hear them and be able to repeat what they said back to them. That's why I can't study in public places unless I have low music or ear plugs...because I'll auto pick-up on conversations nearby and they'll ruin my focus on anything else.

I have that problem, too. I cannot focus on what I'm studying if I don't have some kind of music going. I guess if the topic is interesting enough to me I do okay with auditory learning...but most of my lecture classes were so boring I ended up zoning out. In lecture classes I always had to take notes by hand, then type them out, and the print them out to review them. That repetitive action helped me to retain it better than anything.

I'm primarily auditory, but visual is a close second.
