If you chose a most often, you may have a visual learning style. You learn by seeing and looking.
Visual Learners
take numerous detailed notes
tend to sit in the front
are usually neat and clean
often close their eyes to visualize or remember something
find something to watch if they are bored
like to see what they are learning
benefit from illustrations and presentations that use color
are attracted to written or spoken language rich in imagery
prefer stimuli to be isolated from auditory and kinesthetic distraction
find passive surroundings ideal
Auditory Learners
sit where they can hear but needn't pay attention to what is happening in front
may not coordinate colors or clothes, but can explain why they are wearing what they are wearing
hum or talk to themselves or others when bored
acquire knowledge by reading aloud
remember by verbalizing lessons to themselves (if they don't, they have difficulty reading maps or diagrams or handling conceptual assignments, like mathematics).
You learn by touching and doing.
Kinesthetic Learners
need to be active and take frequent breaks
speak with their hands and with gestures
remember what was done but have difficulty recalling what was said or seen
find reasons to tinker or move when bored
rely on what they can directly experience or perform
perceive and learn best with activities such as cooking, construction, engineering, and art
enjoy field trips and tasks that involve manipulating materials
sit near the door or someplace else where they can easily get up and move around
are uncomfortable in classrooms where they lack opportunities for hands-on experience
communicate by touching and appreciate physically expressed encouragement, such as a pat on the back
