8 Different Learning Types
Each student is unique and therefore each student learns and picks up information differently. Your learning style is as unique as your personality.
By understanding your learning style, you will better understand which type are you. You can also love and enjoy the combination of more styles.
1. The Linguistic Learner
When you enjoy: reading, writing, listening, or speaking.
Sometimes, it’s a combination of all these 4 methods. So, for example, if you love history: you can read about it first, then you can listen to an audio recording and take notes on it. Then you can talk about the topic and after, write about it.
2. The Naturalist
The naturalist learns the best being in nature. This is mostly true for scientists and other similar learners that love to spend time in nature and learn via observation, experienced and by experiments. Also, it may be you, if you prefer study just being outside. Being outside and getting fresh oxygen is always better than sitting all day inside anyway.
3. The Musical / Rhythmic Learner
Do you love to learn using melody or rhythm? If this is you, music is not a distraction, but part of the process, where it helps you to focus, concentrate and allow the learning to stick. Characteristics: student, who learns best while humming, whistling, toe-tapping, tapping their pencil on the desk, wiggling, or listening to music.
4. The Kinaesthetic Learner
“Learning by doing“ - performing the action that helps the student to see how it is done in actuality. These type of learners love to touch and interact with objects to learn more about them. Jobs in this category are those jobs: in the arts, manufacturing, creative works, such as: dancing, acting, carpentry, surgery, creating hand-made products, building toy models, massage, rehabilitation, cook or chef, etc. It is all about the “hands-on experience.”
5. The Visual Learner
A visual learners love to see things, that gives them clarity and understanding: pdf forms, charts, graphs, pictures, notes, writings, books, diagrams, infographics, etc.
If this is you, you tend to be technically-oriented but love to see visual steps, models, etc. Example: student hears about some process that seems hard to understand. Once he or she sees a simple chart, that shows each and every step, the process becomes clear. Also, great example of profession may be an engineer or an architect: They see the concept of an house/or any building in their mind first, based on client's needs and wants. Once it is expressed and drawn on the paper, it can be prepared and visualized in every detail in perfect satisfaction, even before the actual house is build.
6. The Logical/ Mathematical Learner
This may be you if you need to classify or categorize things logically or mathematically. This is you, if you understands patterns, numbers and equations. Professions: engineers, scientists, mathematicians, and other technical professions.
7. The Inter-personal Learner
Learning by relating to others. This may be you, if you love to share stories, work best in teams - at school or work, and if you love compare your ideas to the ideas of others. In a sense, others help you think of new ideas of their own, because you expand your own thinking. If this is you, you are naturally a good leader, as well as team player. Ideal field of work: psychology, counselling, coaching, social science, etc.
8. The Intra-personal Learner
This learning style is complete opposite to inter-personal learner. This student loves to learn and study alone. They love to be challenged, are self-motivated to grow, love to work without direct supervision. Work: creative fields, entrepreneurs, small business owners, creatives, etc..
