New 3-type Learning Style Quiz

[Ponderous]

This site (http://www.usd.edu/trio/tut/ts/style.html) provides an overview of just three primary learning styles, Auditory, Visual and Kinesthetic. There is also a brief quiz (http://www.usd.edu/trio/tut/ts/stylest.html).

Which are you?

Me: combo of Visual and Kinesthetic

Inspired by this thread (http://forums.intpcentral.com/showthread.php?p=788906#post788906).

Meh, each of the questions is basically asking, "Are you an auditory, visual, or kinesthetic learner?" And all the quiz itself does is add up the numbers. Inutil.

Visual - 10
Auditory - 3
Kinesthetic - 3

Kinesthetic.

Twice, while at public seminars on this interesting topic, I was ratted out as one by friends and co-workers, and sent up front to demonstrate for the crowd my little world.

I didn't fail to live up to expectations on the scenarios put forward, nor did the visual and auditory volunteers.

still though...

A Visual learner. A-8 B-4 C-4...

How surprising...

[sorabji_66]

Always felt a degree of part pity and part disdain for the visuals.

Couldn't imagine it making it much easier for an INTP.

Expound.

I'll try... in my kinesthetic way...

Basically, the whole presentation of the visual side was a shallow grasp of a situation, nothing was important beyond the obvious (captured by the eye), focused on (for lack of a better term) surface details.

One of the features of the demonstration was the contempt that the other 2 would show for the person giving an honest answer under the gun.

To me, everything is deteriorating in my immediate surroundings (as is natural) and I am very glad I don't make judgments based on visual stimuli as much as the other two.

I sit at meetings or in group situations where I cannot believe what is being stated and often will have to react. (The rest just sit there like zombies, there's no puppet show today.) It has become a favourite pasttime of coworkers to sit far away from me, or at least far enough to ignore my reactions, or wait for them gleefully.

Gore's reactions during the first (I think) debate with W, where he groaned, exhaled sharply and made body gestures was something I could relate to.

Hope that helped, I did my best...

Hmm. Thanks for trying.

I'll just say that you seem to have as tenuous a grasp of the mechanics of visual learning as I do of the kinesthetic.

I only sat through a few 2-3 hour presentations of the 3 methods.

(you can do better than an attempt at a "bon mot".)

Visual learning is pretty far from superficial. It's not the slides or the pictures that I learn from - it's the pictures my mind forms from them. That's how I hold my concepts. Since it is usually a continuous picture rather than a set of details, a conflict becomes noticeable very quickly. In public, I am usually confident enough to commit to a remark that there is a problem with a hypothesis. It usually takes some solitary thinking to isolate why.


Couldn't imagine it making it much easier for an INTP is what caught my attention. Visual learning isn't popular, since most people seem to relate better to more left-brain approaches to teaching, learning, and evaluation of comprehension. In that sense, it does make my life harder.

Toward the much more important goal of understanding, however, it certainly makes my life as an INTP much easier. He (http://www.whcscholar.org/html/walter_isaacson__einstein.html) would agree.

You appear to be linking visual learning with a strong sensing preference. They are not related. In my case, they would show up as counter-correlated.

My internet connection, which I steal from my neighbor, is on the blink today. I had a reply typed out for you before, but it disappeared.
