What’s Your Learning Style?
Whether you are heading back to school for extra training, or just trying to learn the ropes at your new job, it’s important to understand your own learning style. Learning style affects the effort you need to expend to learn new things.
Basically, there are three common learning styles, and it’s quite possible to have a mixture of two or even all three. Visual people learn best from seeing or reading things. They like pictures, charts and graphs, diagrams, and so forth. Auditory people learn best by hearing things. They like discussions, lectures, oral directions, etc. Kinesthetic persons prefer to learn by doing. They like to move around, watch demonstrations, and learn in a hands-on sort of way.
