Learning Styles 

Use the assessment options to the right to gain insight into how you learn best.

The Greek philosopher Socrates said it best: “Know thyself.” And those are words worth remembering.

We are always learning; from a classroom lecture to a meeting at work, new information is presented every day.

Research shows that people learn in different ways. While each of us uses all of our senses to gather information, some use one sense more than others while learning.

People can be better learners when they understand their preference for visual (seeing), auditory (hearing), or tactile (touching) learning.  Often, individuals find that they have more than one preference  when it comes to learning. For example, you could be almost equally strong in visual and auditory learning.

Once you understand how you learn best, you can adjust the way that you learn new information.  You also can learn to adjust when instructional methods don’t complement your style.

Understanding your learning style and playing to your strengths will help you be more successful.
