You can recognize patterns easily, as well as connections between seemingly meaningless content.	. Let's make a list. . We can work it out. . Quantify it, or prove it	If you are a logical learner, aim to understand the reasons behind your content and skills. Don't just rote learn.

People listen to you or come to you for advice, and you are sensitive to their motivations, feelings or moods.	. Let's work together on this. . We can work it out. . Tell me what you are thinking.

My learning styles from the online quiz show that I am a social learner but I am also a visual and physical learner as well.

Being a Social Learner means that you work well in team based work and you can communicate well within the team, for example by sharing ideas and contributing to the team. This type of learning also shows that you are good at communicating verbally and non-verbally.

 

 

 

Being a Visual Learner means you prefer to physically see your work. Images are usually used frequently in visual learners and bright appealing colors. Commonly people who are visual learners can easily find your way around using maps, and you rarely get lost also when they walk out of an elevator, they instinctively know which way to turn.

 

 

 

Being a physical learner means you like to see what you’re doing before you do, like a demonstration such as role playing. When your a physical learner you are more sensitive to the physical world around you. You notice and appreciate textures, for example in clothes or furniture. You like 'getting your hands dirty,' or making models, or working out jigsaws.

 

 

The results show that I’m a visual learner which is very accurate because before I learn something I would prefer to see a demonstration for example, in football I would learn a new drill quicker if someone demonstrated it to me.

The results that have been chosen for me in my opinion are very accurate as I believe that the three learning styles chosen for me are correct as I enjoy doing team based assessments in class. I also fell when I’m working in a group I contribute ideas and I express my opinions on the assignments.
