 There are three basic types of learning styles. The three
most common are visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. To
learn, we depend on our senses to process the information
around us. Most people tend to use one of their senses
more than the others. This quiz helps you determine which
of these learning styles you rely on the most. It is not
unusual to use different learning styles for different tasks.

 Take a sheet of paper out and write these
activities down:
 Whistle or sing at least 5 seconds from a song
 Complete this numerical sequence 1, 2, 4, 8, ___, ___ and
explain the logic behind it
 Draw a picture of a car, wolverine, or pair of shoes
 Do the mono or any other dance
 Share a dream you’ve had in the past week
 Someone who can honestly say they are comfortable
talking to everyone in this activity
 Recite the lyrics to any poem, rap, or song, or quote
Your job now is to walk around the room
and find people who can exhibit one of
these intelligences. Get them to initial
your piece of paper. You can only get
one person’s initials once. You cannot
sign your own sheet.
Have fun with this and try to meet some
new people.
 On a sheet of paper, you will write at least 3
paragraphs.
 Write on what intelligences you think you
are better at
 what you aren’t so good at
 what you think you can do better in.
 Also, give examples of how you are good at
these things.
 Talk about friends you know who are good
at each of the intelligences, or famous
people who are like you in their abilities.
 There is a belief that you can be good at all of
them, but inevitably we favor certain
intelligences. It is important to know how you
are intelligent so you can do your best to
adjust and adapt to what you have to learn.
If you are musically smart, memorize facts in
songs. If you dance well, create a dance about
certain stories, or act out a short skit, etc
