Learning Styles

After talking about learning styles in class yesterday I wanted to learn more about them and I found this website where you can take a short quiz and it will tell you what your learning style is. The link is below.

I was already pretty sure that mine was auditory but I took the test anyway and it told me that I am an auditory learner. At the end of the test the website gives you your result and a short synopsis of what that means. I found this synopsis especially interesting because it pointed out some things that I had never associated with learning style. It said that auditory learners have trouble tuning out background music, which I have always noticed about myself but never associated with the fact that I'm an auditory learner before. There is also a link on the results page to an article that has descriptions of each learning styles and certain attributes that a person who is that style might display. I realized from reading about my learning style how much it is linked to the way that I act and how I do things, so I'm sure it would be really useful to determine a character's learning style while doing character development work. In addition to being useful for character development, its also really useful for us as students because the article outlines the best way for you to study based on your learning style. Check out the link below to read the article outlining learning styles and if you don't already know yours find out using the link above.
