What It Means
ê As  a  visual  learner,  you  prefer  using  pictures  and  
images  to  gain  understanding  of  new  ideas  and  
information.  
ê You  often  recognize  words  by  sight,  use  lists  to  
(a) = Visual Learner organize  your  thoughts  and  recall  information  by  
remembering  how  it  was  set  out  on  a  page.  
ê You  think  in  images  or  pictures.  You  process  what  you  
hear  or  read  and  translate  that  information  into  
meaningful  images  for  future  recall.  

ê As  an  auditory  learner,  you  prefer  using  sound  and  


music  to  acquire  information.  
ê You  learn  best  by  hearing  and  listening  and  filter  
incoming  information  through  your  listening  and  
repeating  skills.  
(B) = Auditory Learner
ê You  like  the  teacher  to  provide  verbal  instructions  and  
you  like  dialogues,  discussions  and  plays.  
ê You  solve  problems  by  talking  about  them.  
ê To  assist  with  recall,  auditory  learners  often  use  
rhythm  and  sound  as  memory  aids.    

ê As  a  tactile/kinesthetic  learner,  you  prefer  using  your  


body,  hands  and  sense  of  touch  to  learn  new  
information.  
(C) = Tactile/Kinesthetic ê You  learn  best  when  you  are  actively  involved  in  the  
learning  process,  such  as  with  hands-­‐on  activities  like  
projects  and  demonstrations.  
ê Writing,  drawing  and  movement  are  often  useful  as  
memory  aids.  

ê As  a  multi-­‐sensory  learner,  you  are  comfortable  using  


a  variety  of  modes  to  acquire  new  information.  
ê Given  the  freedom  in  the  learning  environment,  you  
can  easily  select  which  learning  style  will  best  enable  
2 or more Similar Scores =
you  to  process  the  content.  
Multi-Sensory Learner
ê No  only  do  you  use  a  variety  of  approaches  to  learn  
new  information,  you  are  comfortable  using  any  of  
these  styles—visual,  auditory  or  tactile/kinesthetic—to  
explain  information  to  others.
