How do you learn best? Learners are often identified as a certain type: visual, auditory, or kinesthetic, and each type has some common traits.

Visual learners –

Learn by seeing and reading information
Often like using paper/pencil vs. computer
Pay attention to detail
Sometimes struggle with oral directions

Kinesthetic/Tactile Learners –

Respond best by doing – drawing, building, moving
Often communicate with hand gestures and touching
Remember better with movement – drawing, taking notes, building
May require frequent breaks to move

Auditory Learners –

Learn best by listening to discussions, directions, lectures
Talk frequently, to self or others
Are distracted in noisy environments
Uses tone or volume of voice to convey emotions

Which of the three is your preferred method of learning? You are likely a combination but tend to use one style more successfully than the other two. What about your family members – can you guess what type of learner each person is?

There are multiple resources online if you want to take a short quiz to help identify (or confirm) your learning style. You may want to take more than one test and compare the results. Knowing your learning style can help you make better choices when approaching new information. It can also help you understand how other people (like family members) process information.
