My learning style

I recently (as in five minutes ago =P) completed a test on Memletics website to see what sort of learner I am. This is the graph of my results, and the following are the specific number results.

Style Scores

Visual	8
Social	17
Physical	9
Aural	14
Verbal	13
Solitary	7
Logical	8

This is also the descriptions of each learning style (with links to do further study):

• Visual (spatial). You prefer using pictures, images, and spatial understanding.
• Aural (auditory-musical). You prefer using sound and music.
• Verbal (linguistic). You prefer using words, both in speech and writing.
• Physical (kinesthetic). You prefer using your body, hands and sense of touch.
• Logical (mathematical). You prefer using logic, reasoning and systems.
• Social (interpersonal). You prefer to learn in groups or with other people.
• Solitary (intrapersonal). You prefer to work alone and use self-study.

As you can see, I am mostly a social, aural and verbal learner. This means I need to talk about my work with groups of people. It means I need sound to work, I cannot work without music. I also prefer to have things explained to me.

I believe the results reflect my personality perfectly. I would recommend this to my fellow educators to use this test for your students. This is a perfect way to profile how your students learn, and in turn will help you create better lessons to best cater for your students.
