are you a visual leaner or can you just read instructions and be fine?

I would much rather have someone show me how ..but sometimes it's easier to look at the item and just figure out how to make it..like I have learned how to make things taking them apart and back together again...I HATE MANUALS! xoxoxoxo

Great Question! I am a learner who works like so. 1. Follow directions to the n'th degree making sure I do everything the exact way it says to do them. 2. Look at a picture of how it should look and then see if mine looks the same way. If I would have to choose I would like to have a schematic of what I am doing and just just a bunch of text.

Both. I read books to learn html, but I did have to learn by coding and then see my mistakes in real. they both make great tools together and can help, visual is handy and written is also great. Hearing is a good source too. ~Joey

I am very much a visual learning. I can remember in school trying so hard to learn basic fractions and no matter how hard I tried I couldn't grasp it. Years ago I was at the store with my Hubby, I believe, and wanted to buy a magazine. The display said 1/4 off but I didn't know how to do the math. He told me to pick out the magazine which was like $4.00. He told me to half it making it $2.00 and then half it again, making it $1.00. Hence, the magazine was 1/4 off or $1.00. Once he pointed it out and showed me it was simple. I couldn't believe how easy it was after all the struggling I did in school. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

This pertains to your learning style. Most people think there are only two learning styles, left brain and right brain. But once you figure out which of those you are, you can find out your more specific learning style by doing a VARK test. VARK stands for the four learning styles the test helps you to decipher from: Visual, Aural, Read/Write, and Kinesthetic. This test was created by Neil D. Fleming, and it helps you to determine what type of learner you are, and provides study strategies based on your strengths. If you would like to take this test for yourself, or find out more information about learning styles, go to: http://www.vark-learn.com

It depends on what I am doing. For many things I can just read or be told how to do things. For some, I need to be shown. Knitting is one thing I have to be shown. I tried to teach myself from a book, and even with the pictures I had a hard time. Part of the reason is that I am left handed. Following the directions meant doing it right handed, which was hard. But to switch to left handed, I got myself all confused. There are so many details- right to left, yarn over left to right, put the yarn in the front or the back. I picked it up much more easily when I had someone showing me.

i do better with visual and hands on type learning too i can't read something and just do it i have to be shown what to do first i learn by watching and doing

All of the crafts and needlework that I do I learned from reading, but reading while doing the work... I guess that puts me somewhere in between! But I was sewing before I took home ec in school, knitting scarves before I got my first knitting book, etc. Everything I do was self-taught.
