What type of learner are you?

I’m taking a poll for my Education class and I was wondering, how everyone prefers to learn and why? Please try to give as much feedback as possible.
I’ll give some examples…

Visual Learners: learn through seeing…

These learners need to see the teacher’s body language and facial expression to fully understand the content of a lesson. They tend to prefer sitting at the front of the classroom to avoid visual obstructions (e.g. people’s heads). They may think in pictures and learn best from visual displays including: diagrams, illustrated text books, overhead transparencies, videos, flipcharts and hand-outs. During a lecture or classroom discussion, visual learners often prefer to take detailed notes to absorb the information.

Auditory Learners: Learn through listening…

They learn best through verbal lectures, discussions, talking things through and listening to what others have to say. Auditory learners interpret the underlying meanings of speech through listening to tone of voice, pitch, speed and other nuances. Written information may have little meaning until it is heard. These learners often benefit from reading text aloud and using a tape recorder.

Tactile/Kinesthetic Learners: Learn through, moving, doing and touching…

Tactile/Kinesthetic persons learn best through a hands-on approach, actively exploring the physical world around them. They may find it hard to sit still for long periods and may become distracted by their need for activity and exploration.

Please remember to say WHY you are that. The more details the better****************

I love when people ask me this question.
A lot people are, like me, a combination of the learning types.

I remember in the sixth grade, my teacher gave out these learning tests to all the students in my class. I think i must have taken six different tests before my teacher said I must be a multiple learner.

I think that a teacher should be sure to cater to all learning types, especially in the younger grades. I think the reason i always did well in school was because I was able to adapt to different learning styles depending on the teacher’s method.

Anyway, my answer is I am a multiple kinesthetic learner(according to that sixth grade teachers) so take this answer into account when you present your poll results to your education class.

Good luck with your poll
