What Type Of Learner Am I?

1. When operating or building a piece of equipment for the first time, I prefer to...

Read the available manual and try to follow the instructions step by step.

Adopt a method similar to that of trial and error, imagining how the end result will turn out, trying to fit pieces together logically to achieve the objective.

Listen to instructions from someone else, taking myself step by step through the correct procedure, trying to copy how he/she showed me.

2. If I had 15 minutes to memorise a section of a history textbook, I would...

Scan through all the information, reading it over and over again until I formed a scenario of what exactly was happening in my head.

Read it out loud, and talk with myself to I understand what exactly is going on.

Imagine putting myself in that place, and play it out like a film in my head.

Closing my eyes and listening to the exact sounds and beats made.

Singing to the lyrics.

Tapping my feet or hands in time with the beat.

4. For me, a great evening would be...

Playing a game or activity with my friends or family, and having a really good time.

Watching some new episodes of my favourite TV programme.

5. I would choose a holiday based on...

What I'd looked at in the holiday brochures.

A good recommendation that my friends told me about.

Seeing something on TV that looked good, and imagining what it would like to be there.

6. If my mobile phone wasn't working due to a manufacturing fault, I would...

Write a letter/send an email telling them the problem, and how it can be resolved, and whether or not you can receive a refund.

Phone up the store or helpline, and try best describe what the problem is, and how it can be repaired.

Take the phone back to the store I got it from, and show them the problem first-hand.

7. If I was in writing an english essay, and I was unsure about the correct spelling of the word, I would...

Say the word out loud slowly.

Write the word out several times on a piece of paper, and choose the one that looks correct.

Visualise the word in my mind.

8. If someone really annoyed me, I would...

Glare at them, showing them my unhappiness in what they just said.

Become aggressive and most probably storm out, or perform some kind of action to stress my anger.

Shout at them, telling them how stupid they had been.

9. I'm best at remembering...

10. You're struggling in a science lesson so you call a teacher to come over and help you, and he asks you how he can best explain it to you. You'd prefer it if...

He presented scientific charts & diagrams in front of you.

He talked to you individually and went over the topic slowly.
