What’s Your Learning Style?
December 14, 2005This blog doesn’t often cover training and development, but it should! One issue that trainers often talk about is learning style. Different people learn differently. Not surprised? Are you more of a visual learner, auditory learner, or tactile learner? Here’s how to find out!
Take a quiz here to find out what your learning style is. Although you will have to “hand score” the results by going to this page, you will find out quite quickly what your learning style is and how to learn better.
This is an easy quiz to take and score; you may also find it interesting to use next time you lead a training session! I think that a lot of people are visual, given the T.V. world we live in.

I guess ideally a training session or class appeals to all three types of learner — or provides the option of selecting different modes.
Personally. I’m so dependent on visual-verbal (i.e., seeing words, not pictures), that I can’t imagine anyone being able to learn effectively by just listening — without even taking notes.
I recently commented to someone that I’d like to receive church sermons online. I can rarely stay focused enough while listening to them to get the full message, but could get the point of a 20-minute sermon in a minute or two by scanning it online.
I think the type of visual learning style that develops from watching lots of TV differs from the type that develops from extensive reading.
And there are differences between being able to learn effectively by reading a traditional writing style on paper and reading hyperlinked material written in an effective Internet style.

It is good that there are lots of choices in learning tools.
Thanks for the personal insight.
