YES NO 10. The category with the highest score reflects your preferred learning style. Knowing what kind of a learner you are, as well as knowing the learning styles of those you work with is an invaluable tool. This knowledge gives you insight into how people function and learn in the workplace. To illustrate this point, here are some common characteristics of visual, auditory and kinesthetic learners.
Visual people speak and read quickly and tend to be neat, orderly and observant.
They're typically good spellers and good long-range planners and organizers. Because they learn visually, they remember what they saw rather than what they heard, and they memorize things through visual association. While they aren't distracted by noise, they do have trouble remembering verbal instructions unless they also write them down. In contrast, auditory learners rely on listening and remembering what was discussed rather than what they saw. It's no surprise, then, that they're easily distracted by noise.
