According to this survey I have the following dominant patterns in my learning style:
Intuitive over Sensing: "Intuitive learners often prefer discovering possibilities and relationships."
Visual over verbal: "Visual learners remember best what they see--pictures, diagrams, flow charts, time lines, films, and demonstrations." (Not sure that I agree with this entirely, you SEE words don't you?)
Global over Sequential: "Global learners tend to learn in large jumps, absorbing material almost randomly without seeing connections, and then suddenly 'getting it.'" This is totally me.
I am also fairly balanced between active and reflective learning: "Active learners tend to retain and understand information best by doing something active with it--discussing or applying it or explaining it to others. Reflective learners prefer to think about it quietly first."
I don't put too much stock in these things, but, for whatever its worth. How did you do?
PS - I think doing these things are helpful for those who can't imagine any of way of learning/knowing than their own style.
