How do you learn?

There are four learning styles. They are:
  • Auditory
  • Kinesthetic (movement)
  • Visual
  • Tactile
An auditory student likes to hear instructions. (25%)
A kinesthetic student likes to do the activity in order to learn the activity. (45%)
A visual student likes to look at pictures, maps, and images to learn. (30%)
A tactile student learns through writing and drawing

Which style do you use?

There is another list that includes:
  • Verbal 
  • Logical 
  • Visual
  • Musical
  • Physical
  • Extrovert
  • Introvert
A verbal student learns through talking and reading about the activity. (similar to tactile)
A logical student learns with numbers, games, and logic.
A visual student learns by looking. (visual)
A musical student learns by listening. (auditory)
A physical student learns by doing. (kinesthetic - movement)
An extrovert student likes to work with others.
An introvert student likes to work alone.

Which style do you use?

Then some people say there are only three learning styles:
  • Audio
  • Visual
  • Kinesthetic (movement)
and that students use all three to learn. They use all three but they use them at different times and at different intensities. They use different learning styles for different tasks. Students also combine learning styles.
