What is your Learning Style?

Kinesthetic	Auditory	Visual
I am very good at sports.	I can remember the words to a song if I hear it a few times.	I remember better if I write things down.
I would rather work on a project than read about it.	I would rather listen to the teacher than read a textbook.	I like to doodle or draw when I take notes.
Before I follow directions, it helps me to see someone else do it first.	It helps if I use my fingers as pointers when reading.	I like to look through magazines and read about things I am interested in.
I need a lot of breaks when I am studying.	My eyes get tired fast even though they are okay.	It's hard for me to understand what sometone is saying if other people are talking around me.
I tend to use my fingers when I am counting in my head.	I often talk to myself when I am thinking.	I like to work in quiet places.
Studying at a desk is not for me.	I like to participate in classroom discussions.	I can recall people's faces more easily than I can recall their names.
I don't like to read directions; I'd rather just start doing it.	I remember things more easily if I repeat them out loud.	It's hard for me to understand a joke someone tells me.
I do not become easily lost, even in new places.	My written work doesn't look very neat to me.	I am good at reading maps and charts.
I think better if I am able to move around.	I can concentrate on something even if it's noisy.	It helps me to look at a person when trying to listen.
I work well with my hands doing things such as puzzles or using tools.	I understand how to do something if someone "tells" me.	I remember what I see better than what I hear.
