Three Learning Styles. Understanding YOUR learning style and the learning styles of others is critical to enhancing excellent learning and greater effectiveness and action-ability  

Here are three handy charts you can use to identify your learning style, and/or to help you gear presentations to the learning style of the person or people you will be addressing for maximum impact.  

Visual Learners  

  • are neat and orderly

     

  • speak quickly

     

  • are good long-range planners and organizers

     

  • are observant of environmental detail

     

  • are appearance-oriented in both dress and presentation

     

  • are good spellers and can actually see the words in their minds

     

  • remember what was seen, rather than heard

     

  • memorize by visual association

     

  • usually are not distracted by noise

     

  • have trouble remembering verbal instructions unless they are written down and often ask people to repeat themselves

     
  • are strong, fast readers

     

  • would rather read than be read to

     

  • need an overall view and purpose and are cautious until mentally clear about an issue or project

     

  • doodle during phone conversations and staff meetings

     

  • forget to relay verbal messages to others

     

  • often answer questions with a simple yes or no

Auditory Learners

  • are easily distracted by noise

     

  • move their lips and pronounce the words as they read

     

  • enjoy reading aloud and listening

  • are talkative, love discussion, and go into lengthy descriptions

     

  • have problems with projects that involve visualization, such as cutting pieces that fit together

     

  • can spell better out loud than in writing

     

Kinesthetic Learners
