what kind of learner are you?

[something_different]

quiz

 

my results were:

 

Doing - 88%

 

Visual - 63%

 

Hearing - 6% (lol guess i don't listen much!)

 

 

Doing learning style

You need to receive information through touch and feel and learn best from hands-on work and movement.

 

 

Visual learning style

You need to see information in a visual format and learn best from written information, diagrams, and pictures.

Doing- 69%

 

Hearing- 63%

 

Viaual- 50%

These are my results

 

Hearing learning style : 69%

 

 

Visual learning style : 50%

 

 

Doing learning style : 13%

I found some of the questions difficult to answer but I got:

 

Hearing 56 %

 

Visual 56 %

 

Doing 25 %

Visual - 69%

 

Doing - 38%

 

Hearing - 25%

 

Very visual in my thought processes - think in pictures and find words later.

Erm ... is no-one going to question why their results do not add up to 100%?

 

These numbers are completely nonsensical and have no actual meaning - you cannot even derive a true relationship as we are not told what each is a percentage of. All I can say is that I am more visual than auditory (by their analysis) but it says nothing about how much more, whether this is significantly more, or what it means.

 

Anyway, artificially segregating auditory, visual and kinaesthetic so called 'learning styles' has no cognitive neuroscientific basis and much of what is 'known' is based on myths sold to teachers (and in some cases parents) by companies who are more interested in money than supporting individuals' learning.

 

All current research suggests that you need to have input from all three approaches to be able to learn at your best.

BTW, I'm not having a go at anyone here or the OP, this is just one of my 'things'

i think each section is out of 100. so each is taken as a seprate percentage which is why it does not add up to 100% if you know what i mean.

 

so mine were

 

Doing - 88% so thats 88/100

 

Visual - 63% then 63/100

 

Hearing - 6% and 6/100

 

plus tiz only a bit of fun anyway.

No - because I live in a world where nothing ever adds up... .

 

I agree with the rest of your post. I think I use elements of all types of learning, sometimes more than one at once, according to what I'm learning. That's why I found the questions difficult to answer.

So what is the other 94%? Not hearing?

 

I know many of these quizzes are only a bit of fun and you posted it with those assumptions (and I'm certainly not having a go at you), but this website doesn't claim it to be a bit of fun and indeed makes links with careers for instance.

:lol: I like that answer. Can I paraphrase you in my PhD please?

 

[Kathryn]

Of course you can, Mumble. Always glad to contribute to academic research.

lol i didn't notice that part, i just get a bit obsessed with quizzes and occasionaly share one or two, haha if i posted all the quizzes i took it would be like SD takes over the forum!

 

and yes I prob am 94% not hearing, well not listening would probably be a better phrase as I have a bad tendancy of 'switching off' when people are talking ooops!

I see it as self-awareness, knowing what tools for learning will suit you (or employers can use for training). There's no point in giving me a training podcast to listen to when a DVD will be much more effective. Differentiation.
