VAK Learning Style Test

So, today we had the VAK Learning Test. Oh boy, it was so much fun.... Anyways, with all the work piling up right now, I cant write and brag too long about my learning style. Put it short, I am an auditory learner and I dont completely agree with it. Nevertheless, read it and you can get some insights on how I study. Below is the extract I have from Wikipedia. You can know all about auditory learning from there before you actually proceed, even if you actually bother to proceed and read the rest.


Auditory learning is a learning style in which a person learns through listening. An auditory learner depends on hearing and speaking as a main way of learning. Auditory learners must be able to hear what is being said in order to understand and may have difficulty with instructions that are drawn but if the writing is in a logical order it can be easier to understand . They also use their listening and repeating skills to sort through the information that is sent to them.


Auditory learners may have a knack for ascertaining the true meaning of someone's words by listening to audible signals like changes in tone. When memorizing a phone number, an auditory learner will say it out loud and then remember how it sounded to recall it.
Auditory learners are good at writing responses to lectures they’ve heard. They’re also good at oral exams, effectively by listening to information delivered orally, in lectures, speeches, and oral sessions.
Proponents claim that when an auditory/verbal learner reads, it is almost impossible for the learner to comprehend anything without sound in the background. In these situations, listening to music or having different sounds in the background (TV, people talking, music, etc.) will help learners work better.
Auditory learners are good at storytelling. They solve problems by talking them through. Speech patterns include phrases “I hear you; That clicks; It's ringing a bell”, and other sound or voice-oriented information. These learners will move their lips or talk to themselves to help accomplish tasks.

So if you are reading this, congratulations. I am surprised how you are still reading this. I must be interestingg. So yeah, the methods I employ in studying is that.....I dont. HAHAHAHAHAHA. Just kidding, I am so hilarious!

Okay. Serious note, I always make notes and question myself while I am reading. I like making notes in an orderly organised manner. I dont draw mind maps. The beauty of notes is its ability to be inclusive of all the tiniest details. Significant ones though. By the way, I also do a lot of reading. I like to read so I can sit for hours and bury my head in a book.
That is all for today. I am done.
