Learning by doing (kinesthetic)

When I put something together, I remember how it works.

I remember certain directions after I have done something once or

twice.

I like to do things like simple repairs where I can use my hands.

I can learn best if the instructor uses models, experiments and other

practical tools to show what he/she is talking about.

Using concrete examples is a good way for me to improve my math or

spelling skills.

I remember telephone numbers if I’ve dialed them a few times.

Learning in a group

I like learning in a group so I can discuss the work with others.

I enjoy helping other people in the group with their work.

If I need to do something, I don’t mind asking the person next to me.

Learning Alone

I can concentrate best if I work on my own.

It’s hard to work if people are talking around me.

I’d be embarrassed to show my mistakes to anyone other than an

instructor.

I can’t concentrate if people are moving around^ the room.^
