 What kind of learner are you? Question:

 I remember things better if I write them down. I can visualize pictures in my head. I take notes on what I read and hear. It’s easier for me to work in a quiet place. It’s easy for me to understand maps, charts, and graphs. When I get an idea, I must write it down right away. When I am concentrating on reading or writing, music bothers me. When taking a test, I can “see” the textbook page and the answer. Visual Learner

 When reading, I listen to the words in my head or I read aloud. I need to discuss things to understand them better. I prefer hearing a teacher to reading a textbook. I remember what people say better than what they look like. It’s hard for me to picture things in my head. I talk myself through homework assignments. I like having someone tell me how to do something rather than reading directions. Auditory Learner

 I can study better when music is playing. I need frequent breaks when studying I don’t like sitting at a desk. I like to move around. I take notes, but I never go back and re-read them. When I start a book, I like to look at the ending. My notebook and desk may look messy, but I know where things are. I daydream in class I’d rather do a project than write a report. I use my fingers to count and move my lips when I read. Kinesthetic Learner
