What Type of Learner are You?

Last week we took the Learning Styles Inventory in class.  It indicates whether you learn better through visual, auditory or kinesthetic means.  Visual learners, for example, need to see learning objectives, such as through images or written words.  Auditory learners need primarily to hear what they are learning.  Finally, kinesthetic learners understand better when they have hands-on experience.

The results may surprise some people.  I, for instance, thought I was an auditory learner, but the inventory shows I lean more towards visual learning; after reflection, I realized this was true.

What kind of learner are you? How can this knowledge help you as you begin taking college courses?
