WHAT KIND OF LEARNER ARE YOU???

You might be a visual learner if:

You learn well by word recognition (flashcards).

You like the assignment written on the board or on a handout.

Graphs, pictures, charts, and other visual representations of information stick in your brain.

You are able to visualize words in your mind.

Frequently, you can remember the exact position of information on the page.

You enjoy demonstrations and presentations.

You might be an auditory learner if:

You excel in lecture situations.

You like to take notes before class so that you can add thoughtfully to what you know during the class.

As soon as class is over you write additional notes as needed.

You rely on a tape recorder to record difficult passages or information.

You find yourself talking out loud when you must learn difficult material.

You are easily distracted by extraneous noises/sounds/music.

You relate to this statement: "How do I know what I think until I hear what I say?"

You use phonics rather than the symbolic configuration to decode difficult words.

You benefit greatly from explaining a new concept to another person.

You might be a kinesthetic (tactile/manipulative) learner if:

You learn well by doing.

You have poor handwriting and prefer keyboarding your notes.

You need to redraw or write out all math problems.

Simply recopying your notes helps you remember them.

Recopying your written notes to the computer reinforces the words in your brain.

You constantly annoy others with your fidgeting, touching, and pen top removal (or clicking).

You find it difficult to speak with your hands tied behind your back.

You simply "can't sit still."
