Teaching Around the 4MAT Cycle is a fascinating book describing different learning styles. I posted a blog article describing the Learning Cycle.

There are 4 types of learners. Pages 6-7 of the book describing the first two types of learners: Type One Learners and Type Two Learners.

Take a look at these descriptions and see if this describes your style. (Type Three and Type Four will be in another blog post.)
