Visual Learner
Visual Learner
You learn best when ideas, data, concepts, and other information is associated with images. You learn best when you are first shown what you are expected to know. For example, you learn what you read rather than what you hear. Diagrams and charts help you to better understand concepts. Taking notes while listening to presentations is most helpful for you when trying to learn a new topic.
Auditory Learner
Auditory Learner
You depend on hearing and speaking as a main way of learning. You learn through listening rather than through images. You learn best by listening to lectures and videos. You also are able to understand and organize new ideas by listening to other people's opinions on the topic of discussion.
Kinesthetic Learner
Kinesthetic Learner
You learn best through a hands-on approach. You prefer to be interactive rather than sit and listen to a lecture. Kinesthetic learners benefit from demonstrations and exploration.
