Your learning style- test

[shootingstar]

A short test. Some questions reminded me how I mastered certain skills over time. There were 1-2 questions clearly my response is highly influenced by my formal training and work experiences.

I'm sure the teachers here have an opinion on such short tests to determine a person's learning profile.

My score:
• Visual: 10
• Aural: 10
• Read/Write: 10
• Kinesthetic: 9

Visual: 0
Aural: 2
Read/Write: 8
Kinesthetic: 6

I guess this explains why I can't understand any diagrams, especially technical things.
But, I already knew this.

I'm surprised that there's even a 1 for aural! I hate, hate, hate talking to people and being talked at when I'm trying to learn something. I don't mind talking to be social (although I'm really not good at it), but if I'm trying to get information, talking is useless. Talking on the phone is particularly bad--without the visual clues of a face-to-face conversation I get nothing.

.... which is interesting to me, because I see where they're coming from, but when I think of how I learn, that's not how I think of myself. Book-larnin' comes so naturally to me, I guess I don't even think about it. But I'm such an abstract thinker that I have difficulty learning practical skills by reading - in those cases I'm much more visual and kinesthetic.

For example, if I have to rely on a service manual to learn how to repair something, it's almost comical how many times I'll have to look back and forth from the diagram, to the real thing, to the diagram, before the picture congeals in my head. If I can learn by having an experienced mechanic supervise me and tell me what to do, I catch on much quicker.

No surprises here! Just tell me about it or hand it over. Instructions are just in the box for the slight chance that I might get stuck on something.

You have a strong Read/Write preference.

No news there.

I closed the tab too soon but I know my visual was 14.
I can mentally walk through a building just by looking at a set of plans.

I didn't quite realize I was a quadruple-dimensional learner.

Geez. I actually don't like just hearing only voices without visual cues for learning. It might explain that I don't like audio books nor do I listen to radio shows. I haven't listened to any radio shows for years.

But for word spellings, I rely strongly on matching phoenics (heavily aural) and imagining a word spelling in my head. It is based very strongly on rigorous learning English as a 2nd language as a child when I had difficulty enunciating certain blended consonants, ie. th, cr, tr, etc. Rigorous but I ended up loving wordplay and wordsmithing.

Wow, looks like I'm a loser!

I would have guessed visual >kinesthetic>read=aural

* Visual: 7
* Aural: 6
* Read/Write: 8
* Kinesthetic: 10

I had multiple choices for every situation, but not because I need multiple ways in order to learn but because I *can* learn in multiple ways, equally. I guess it explains why I've always been a good student - even without trying. It comes naturally to me. Too bad I suck at long-term knowledge retention.

[OakLeaf]

I also learn much quicker if I understand WHY I'm doing something. There wasn't a category for that.

Me too!

Your scores were:

Visual: 10
Aural: 9
Read/Write: 12
Kinesthetic: 12

Seems I learn best from a variety of approaches...which doesn't surprise me. It depends entirely upon what I'm learning. Sometimes I do well just reading something, other times I do best when I DO something.
