These five aspects are explained below. PART ONE: AUDITORY OR VISUAL LEARNERS This score indicates the sensory mode you prefer when processing information. Auditory learners tend to learn more effectively through listening. Visual learners process information by seeing it in print or other visual modes, including films, pictures, or diagrams.

If you are an applied learner, you prefer tasks that involve real objects and situations. Practical, real-life learning situations are ideal for you. If you are a conceptual learner, you prefer to work with language and ideas; practical applications are not necessary for understanding. Copyright © 2020, 2017, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Spatial learners are able to visualize, or mentally see, how things work or how they are positioned in space. Their strengths may include drawing, assembling things, or repairing. Verbal learners tend to rely on verbal or language skills, rather than skills in positioning things in space. Copyright © 2020, 2017, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

If you are a social learner, you prefer to work with others— both peers and instructors—closely and directly. You tend to be people oriented and to enjoy personal interaction. If you are an independent learner, you prefer to work and study alone. You tend to be self-directed or self-motivated and often are goal oriented. Copyright © 2020, 2017, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Creative learners are imaginative and innovative. They prefer to learn through discovery or experimentation. They are comfortable taking risks and following hunches.
