What is ur learning style?

My t and I have been talking about the different types of learning styles (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic). Has anyone tested (either formally or online) which type of learner you are? What are you?

I used to like just reading stuff and getting my own understanding but lately I think Im more visual.

I prefer hands on....

I'm very visual. For instance, today I was in a workshop learning some computer programs. We were being taught very hands-on, which is fine, but I don't always retain things hands-on like that. I really prefer to have written information that I can refer to as I learn so that I don't get frustrated if I miss a step, etc. I can figure almost anything out if you give me the written directions to work with. I'm not terribly auditory at all. I zone out too easily.

I don't learn very well with auditory thingies, because I tend to forget what was said very fast, especially if they are teaching many steps at a time, etc. I am better if I can get in there, get my hands dirty and try it myself. Hands on!

I am not sure. I am right-brained, when means that I'm very visual. But I can listen pretty well too. My auditory memory is just as good as my visual memory, I think.

But I know for a fact that I'm not a detail-oriented person, which means I'm terrible at following directions, written or oral. In college, my worse class was organic chemistry lab. The lecture itself wasn't that hellish, but the lab was torture because if you did not follow the directions in the lab book, nothing was going to work. I was <this> close to having a nervous breakdown because of my failures in that class, and now I know why it was so hard for me. I just suck at doing step-by-step stuff. I look at the big picture, study it for awhile, and then come up with the process for replicating it using my own strategies. The reverse is unsettling for me because my brain looks at the little steps and thinks, "Alright, why are we doing this?"

I am a visual, for my journal I have to do everything is a picture-colours and a series of designs hardly any written stuff.
Also when I read a book I imagine to words in my head and my dreams are like tv shows very visual

If I can see it, I can reproduce it.

I am all but auditory. I dont listen worth a darn.

I'm very kinesthetic (sp). I have to touch and feel everything. Some textures drive me nuts. But to remember anything I have to write it and then hear it. I have a degree in early childhood development and as a class in collage I choose a course that was for those who are on the extreme of the spectrum or who have ties to someone who is at that exteeeme and want to know what it feel like to be at the far end of the spectrum. Generally If you are at the far end then there is a learning/ congnitive disibility somewhere.

I an not very much of a visual learner at all. A little bit of an auditory but out the roof when it came down to kinesthetic. I have dyslexia, dysnomia, and ADD. So the class I took was general but right on the money I came to find out years later.

I'm a visual learner. Auditory is my worst way of learning. When I listen to a lecture, I write it down and that act helps me learn it. If I just listen without writing, I don't retain much at all. I am also very bad at the acronym method of learning. For example, if you want to remember the steps in a process, you make an acronym out of the first letters of each step and that is supposed to help you remember the process. Doesn't work for me, though. Creating an acronym just adds an extra thing to remember and so is harder for me. I do better just to learn the steps directly. I also learn by scaffolding, but I have heard that "older" people tend to do this, so I guess I am where I am supposed to be.

I think we're twinkies. In college, I took copious notes during lectures and then went home, recopied all of them, and highlighted them so I had the visual for retention. At that point, I can almost actually see the words on the page in my mind. Didn't have too do much more studying beyond that point. It was a pain to do at the time, but the pay-off was worth it for me.
