Learning Style


In the learning style quiz, I scored 5 points for Visual, 5 points for Auditory and 6 points for Kinesthetic learning. I believe that this points out that I am almost impartial to the learning style as all three are roughly the same save for Kinesthetic ranking one point higher.

I think that this is also because I am middle-brained according to the brain preference quiz. I am almost always ambivalent.

But since I still scored one point higher in Kinesthetic Learning, let us contemplate on it more. I think this manifests most in my quirk that I always have this urge to touch things. Like when we go to the mall and I se a certain dress/bag/shoe/anything that looks as if it has a weird texture, I really have to touch it. And when I do touch it, I would be so amused and happy. People find this disturbing and creepy. I do so too. But that's just the way I am.

I also tend to describe emotions in terms of actual feelings that my senses could feel. For example if a person is "heartbroken" they would usually say that they feel bad and gloomy, abstract terms accepted since we are talking about emotions. But when I describe it it would go something like this. My hands and feet are cold. My knees are melting. There is a vortex sucking in my intestines. I feel nauseous and I feel that I need to vomit.

Memory recall is also highly based on feeling for me. There are times that I feel I remember something but I actually don't. It is really hard to explain  but it's almost the same as when you wake up from a dream and you feel something and carry it with you to your waking moment but don'r remember the exact details.

Since I know now that I am a kinesthetic learner, I am thinking of ways to take advantage of this knowledge. I have not really tried doing mnemonic activities aside from writing out things. I always write out my schedule several times on different notebooks when it becomes hectic.

In the future, I would like to try doing activities to help aid in studying such as making action mnemonics to remember facts.
