Overview of Learning Styles

I am intrigued by different learning styles and all the models available to assess your strengths and weaknesses in this area. Of all the online assessments, I am particularly drawn to the Memletics Learning Styles Inventory. I feel this is the most rounded and balanced of the assessments I have taken up to this point. Below are the learning styles Memletics covers.

The learning styles are:

• Visual (spatial). You prefer using pictures, images, and spatial understanding.
• Aural (auditory-musical). You prefer using sound and music.
• Verbal (linguistic). You prefer using words, both in speech and writing.
• Physical (kinesthetic). You prefer using your body, hands and sense of touch.
• Logical (mathematical). You prefer using logic, reasoning and systems.
• Social (interpersonal). You prefer to learn in groups or with other people.
• Solitary (intrapersonal). You prefer to work alone and use self-study.

After taking the 70 question inventory, you are presented with a graphic that indicates your preferences. Here is what mine looked like when finished.
