What Type of Learner are You?

So what do you do next?
- Do you open the box, find the written assembly instructions, and get to reading?
- Do you open the box, find the diagram assembly instructions, and analyze the pictures?
- Do you open the box, throw out the instructions, and start putting the desk together?
- Do you wait for your roommate to get home and discuss an assembly “plan of attack”?
- Do you do a combination of the aforementioned?
- Or do you just call someone else to do it for you?
Most of the time we concentrate on what we are learning rather than how we are learning it. Yet, to get the most out of our learning experiences, we need to be aware of and engage in the actual process of how we are learning.
Learning how we learn is important for our success in college and beyond. Unfortunately, no single method of learning guarantees our success—we must find the methods that best suit our learning for ourselves.
