| These are the eight styles of learning: Linguistic- Likes to read, write, and can remember obscure bits of trivia fairly easily. (Quick! Who played Baby in the movie Dirty Dancing?!) Logical/Mathematical- Good at finding patterns and using logic Spatial- Likes puzzles, daydreams often Musical- Has a good handle on rythm, pitch, and remembering song lyrics Bodily/Kinesthetic- Likes using his/her hands, is good at sports, dance, crafts Naturalistic- Is one with nature, enjoys camping, doesn't seem to mind the bugs Interpersonal- Likes to work in groups Intrapersonal- Prefers solo work; is very independent |

| The learning styles that I think I am weakest in are definitely Visual Learning and Logical/Mathematical learning. I have always liked to draw and do art, but as for activities like puzzles? Forget it; frankly, I have never understood people who spend weeks trying to cram eight hundred pieces of a Jackson Pollack jigsaw puzzle together. Also, I like to plan things out on paper, instead of �visualizing an idea.� Although I am not quite as useless at Logical Learning, the world of mathematics has never exactly been my �cup of tea.� It has always taken me longer to truly understand theories in math than in any other subject. I admit that there have been times when I enjoy math though, like when I finally figure out a hard problem or equation. However, those *eureka* moments are (unfortunately) few and far between. |
| Although my �strongest� learning type is probably interpersonal, I think I might also be a linguistic learner, because I like to read, and I usually would rather write a paper than take a test. Although I can remember quiz facts fairly easily (at least for a short period of time) I am able to remember information much more easily (and for a longer period of time) if I have written a paper on them. For some things however, (such as a complicated lab procedure) I need to see how they should be done, in order to fully understand them. Because of this, I might be a kinesthetic learner in certain situations. |
| Probably Not: |
| Ever since I was younger, I have thought of myself as a person who worked best in small groups, so I am most likely an interpersonal learner. After all, working with others allows me to bounce ideas off of other people, and think of the goal or problem with a different perspective than my own. I also find projects much more interesting and fun when I am cooperating with others, instead of just working alone in a corner somewhere. Usually in school, when teachers assign group projects, they expect a presentation on the subject. I have never minded being part of a group presentation; in fact, sometimes I really enjoy giving presentations. When I was younger, I would get nervous when I had to speak in front of a large group by myself, but if I was with others, I was much more relaxed. After all, I could blame it on somebody else if I screwed up. (Just kidding!!) Now that I�m in high school, I don�t mind speaking in public by myself; but often presentations are generally more appealing to both the audience and the presenters if there it is a group effort. |
