So when you were studying in school... when you are in training sponsored by your companies... normally how do you learn from them? (besides listening.. hehe) Are you the type that learns faster with visual aids, like graphs or drawings and charts? or you learn faster with words...sentences, reading materials.. etc. As for me, i found myself willing to read and learn when i am shown graphs, interpretations, charts and so on... i find it really boring to be presented with too much words or paragraphs. he he

I prefer studying texts and reading books, it is easier for me to learn this way . But first, I really learn from presentations, not by the graphs but by listening to the person who does the presentation. I can remember everything if I pay attention to the lecturer and never forget the stuff that I learn in the class!

Hi! I am totally visual and auditory. I am not a good reader at all, not at all. I've never been good at reading. If you find yourself getting bored, probably it would be a good thing to read those areas out loud, just to get a different feeling on things. Reading aloud always helped me. but yes, visual all the way :)

hi nyssa, you are like my bf, he does not want to read!!! he likes and would be more willing to compute but would not want words to go along with any tasks he has to learn. :D thank you for your reply! God bless!

Neither. I learn best by doing. As it is I have a test for work coming up. I don't look forward to it as it is a memory test done on a computer. I wish I could have on the job training for it instead. My memory sucks and I do so much better by learning hands on. Hopefully I'll pass, but I'm not holding my breath, especially when I have to pass with a score of 95 or better. I need to study but don't see the point. Unless I find a way to simulate the training, the only way I'm going to pass is by luck. Happy mylotting!

hi sacmom... this is true too, thank you for sharing this with us. yes there are people who learn by doing things and by getting the feel of the task. its quite common i guess for so many people to learn when they do the things being taught to them. thank you for your reply! God bless!
