Type of Learner?

#1 Post by Divine »

So are you an auditory learner (learning by ear), visual learner (by eye) or tactile (learning by doing it)?

I don't know if those three are the only types, but it was in my textbook XD.

I think I'm auditory, because whenever I study, I always say it out loud instead of writing it or just reading it (unless that place is too loud). Also, I can remember the rhythms and pitches of some words said to me when I'm learning, for example, in a classroom.

I'm also sort of visual, but I think I'm more auditory than visual. Definitely not Tactile, though.

I'm tactile. I'm nervous till i've done something once... or twice, but after that i'm normally pretty good at whatever it is i'm doing (other then math. But Maths evil).

I believe I'm visual. I always catch myself trying to remember what I read on a specific paper, or something like that. I imagine myself reading the paper and it's like I start scanning it. It's odd really.

Hearing people tell me stuff is a good way for me to learn, but I also pick up quickly from doing stuff or writing it down.

Really can't classify myself.

Did a thingy in careers last year....it was kinetic instead of tactile (that's what I am), and there was one other thing as well. Maybe reading, writing, seeing, and kinetically, or maybe not. It'll come to me eventually.

I'm mostly auditory. I can learn the other ways, but hearing stuff really helps it stick. :)

Pick the one you feel suits you the MOST :).

Tactile. Although I can memorize about anything I hear, I can only repeat tasks once I've done them.

I'm not completely sure - I'm probably tactile, though.

But what if all fit you equally in different situations, or even the same situation? I can't really choose either.

Yeah. I don't think I fit in with any of them. I learn things by writing them down. If I write something down, my chances of forgetting it are incredibly low. I don't consider that to really fit in to any of the options in the poll.

From what I've read, that's tactile, because you're actually writing it out. (you're reading it, too, but you could just read it instead of writing it out while you're reading it... um, well anyways, my textbook says writing is tactile XD)

Well, I pretty much fall under every category equally... maybe visual a little bit less (maybe a lot)? I don't know.

But I can't really choose, beyond a doubt, between Auditory and Tactile. I've done this many times in the past, and I believe I was Tactile, but I would actually have to choose Auditory from this. x_x I'm more of a listener.

Um... I guess?
