Learning Styles (Flemming Model)

I'm very visual. I knew that even before this test.

I used to have tons of pens in different colours and various markers, I have shelves and shelves of books, notebooks and study cards I underlined, wrote and made. On my desk I have a board for diagrams and formulas, and stuff that needs to be remembered.

I'm not really sure how all this correlates to my MB type behaviour.
 
I am a visual and auditory learner


I guess it correlates because INFJs either prefer doing things alone or in very small group, and I prefer to study alone so I can really concentrate on the information.

I have quite a few examples of why these styles fit me:
-I talk to myself A LOT when I do homework problems, reasoning myself to the solution, or at least trying to.
-I make up a lot of mnemonic devices to learn formulas and concepts. Example: "My Kids Drive Coupes Mainly Mercedes Never Pentos" to learn the order of Metric units of measurement. I also have "Man Molester's Dirty P" to remember the Ideal Gas Law formula for Molar Mass, and "Goodness Gracious! Farmer Fred Did Go By Picking Pumpkins!" to learn the order of the sugars in Glycolysis. And of course "FANBOYS" to learn my conjunctions. That is just to name a few lol.
-I learned the steps in Cellular Respiration because of a song that I found on You Tube that goes to the tune of "I Got A Feeling" and also "All the Small Things"

When I learn a new reaction mechanism, I find it best to draw out the mechanism, curved arrows and all, and talk myself through it and really understand why everything is happening, that way I don't have to memorize it, if I know why it's happening.

[TABLE="width: 100%"]
[h=3]You are a very visual learner.[/h]You probably use visual references a lot and say things like "I see now" or "I get the picture." You like to see demonstrations, diagrams, slides, charts, and other visual aids in the classroom. You take great notes and you probably use color coded highlighting. You could benefit by drawing outlines of your notes and creating pictures of processes or events that you study. Always write down explanations and instructions. Use flash cards when available.

Not sure how this correlateswith MBTI.

I am an INFP (atm). I do think in images. I am also an aural learner and global learner(big picture thinker). So this probably fits with the NF idealism. As an I, I guess the internal processing of information and images probably aligns with introverts tendency to process their world internally rather than externally or outwardly. And being a P means I look at possibilities more rather than plan things out I guess. I am not sure. I am just guessing about the connection between MBTI and learning style.
 
I'm hands down an auditory learner, but I'm not sure how it correlates to MBTI either. If I hear something there is a very good chance I'll remember it (but not names)
 
I'm a blend of visual and kinesthetic learner. I need to be able to use and do something with the information I absorb. I can't just read or highlight. Too many colours are frustrating to me. I take notes in the margin and put together lists and notes and see how everything fits into the big picture. I sometimes purposely use my outlines to break information down into its building blocks so I can see it built from either the ground up or from the top to bottom. I fill in the details only after I have the big picture. I don't like to talk to anyone about what I'm studying or thinking until I'm sure I've got complete information or I have enough to carry on a conversation. I despise incomplete information.
 
"You are a very visual learner."

Although I'm not very good at diagrams, what does help a lot is remembering how the words look like on the page, or where they were on the page.

If you were to tutor a child who was an auditory learner, in your experience what tips would you give them to succeed in school (since auditory learners excel at oral tests, but do not do so well on written)???

Do you think mathematics is more difficult for auditory learners than other learning types?
 
The test gave me visual learner. But i knew that already to be honest.

This is a perfect question seeing as my field is education!

Math was always somewhat difficult for me. I could always do "okay" but it was never anything I excelled at. I couldn't just do problem after problem because I never really understood what I was supposed to do just from reading it. I always needed to be talked through an equation while being shown how to do it. Then I'd have to talk my way through it a couple times before I really understood what was going on. Auditory learning math is pretty hard, but combining hands-on problem solving with auditory instruction always seemed to help.

Things that have always helped me with test taking really all come in the note taking part of learning. While listening to the teacher/instructor I'd never write very much down because if I did I'd fall behind what they were saying, and my notes were never helpful if I didn't actually hear someone say it. What I would do instead for note taking is write small notes to give me memorable hints as to what was happening in the class at that time. Just a few small sentences to keep me on track, and my memory could normally fill in the rest. While reading I read out-loud from books and textbooks, but only when I was alone. If I said what I was reading it reinforced my learning of the subject (reading out-loud in front of others never helped though, I was too concerned on how I sounded that I'd forget everything that I was reading). Being an audio learner is hard, but finding ways to connect audio with visual made learning a lot easier. Making little jingles for rote (repetitive) learning was nice, as was getting involved with music. Learning how to read and play music helped me in other areas as well, especially math at a young age.

I tutored a guy who is a blend of auditory and kinaesthetic learner, and my advice to him was to talk while solving problems. And I found a board (smaller, but pretty much like the one they had in school) and made him write on it for me and talk me through his solution while doing it. It worked like a charm. Discussing issues with someone (with me in this instance) really seemed to help him learn, and having a board to write on, gave him something to do, he wasn't just sitting and listening.
 
Tactile and auditory..
I literally cannot learn by just reading. I get incredibly bored and just do not comprehend...I have to either perform a task on the subject or listen to a lecture or have a conversation with someone on the subject.
When I read something that I have little to no previous knowledge of... my brain becomes too impatient with the task and I can't concentrate.

I also really absorb information if I'm sitting in a lecture and the speaker is being conversational about the topic.. I think I absorb it because I feel involved..

I also learn best if I can apply the material big picture.. So I guess that makes me a global learner as well?

Not sure how it could apply to mbti.. the only connection between the style blends is that I need to be feel like I am taking an active part in the process.

not sure how accurate this is.
 
Wow! Some parts of this are spot on!

[h=3]You are a very auditory learner.[/h]You may have memorized lots of songs since you learn best by listening. I play music by ear, usually, yes. You may get distracted by background music. Definitely, someone plays music in the office and it drives me nuts! You might do well in a debate class, since you are probably a great speaker. Even if I say so myself... :-p You may have a career in radio! A radio broadcaster once told me this live on air - I'm such a bloody show off! :-p You can remember names but you don't always remember faces. Actually, I remember neither usually You may not have the best handwriting. AWFUL! When traveling to a new place you may prefer to follow verbal directions instead of a map. Nope, I prefer maps You would benefit from recording lectures and listening to the tapes when you study for a test. Nope, this would't work, I have to say it not just hear it.
