Visual Learners

The results indicated that I am a visual learner. Visual learners learn by reading or seeing pictures and understand things by sight. They picture what they are learning in their heads, which entails learning by using primarily visual methods. Visual learners like to see what they are learning, and they are generally neat and clean people. Other characteristics of visual learners include the fact that they use their eyes to remember things, and when bored, they prefer watching something. Visual learners also find it challenging to capture or give spoken directions and are easily distracted by sounds. They are also more attracted to color and stories that are rich in imagery. The results are very accurate since I find it easy to understand things that I can see while being taught, and sounds are a significant distraction to my learning process.

To learn better, the examiner recommends that visual learners should sit in front of the class. The examiner also suggests that such individuals should have a regular eyesight checkup and should use flashcards to learn new words. Such individuals should also try to visualize things that they hear or read then write down the keywords, ideas, or instructions. They should also draw pictures to help explain new concepts and then tell the concepts. Lastly, the examiner recommends that they color code things and that they should avoid distractions during study times.

Other strategies that visual learners can employ include:

• They should try to replace words with symbols
• Watch videos of the concepts they are learning from youtube
• Organize study time with personal schedules.

Now that I know I am a visual learner, I will be requesting for handouts before the class begins and will be asking the teacher for visual demonstrations. I would also be drawing symbols and pictures for important information and will be incorporating white space in my notes to avoid cramming. I would also make outlines and will be writing my tests for practice at the end of every lesson.
