Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

I am almost evenly split between auditory and visual. I think they need one for "body-language-oriented," since I do best with the combination of visual and auditory you get in a lecture.

Thrive to spite them

I'm feeling frustrated and overwhelmed because of work. I wish I had some Buffistas I could call up and say "hey, what about a drink after work."

Or, well, anyone I could call up and say that to, but right now there's not.

I'll console myself with all the tv on my overloaded dvr.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

I got mixed/multimodal on all three tests. A lot of my strong areas in what it calls visual I've always thought of as verbal. I pretty much live with my nose stuck in a book, I have to write directions down to remember them, I forget to pass spoken messages on unless I immediately write them down, etc. I'm weaker on non-verbal visualization--I don't get vivid mental pictures, and I have to work and work at description and action in my writing. Dialogue and narrative are what come naturally there. I have to watch for overlong passages of introspection and info-dumping because they come so easily to me.

Most of my kinesthetic scores were on the low end, but I have some definite kinesthetic traits. Back when I was skating, I did best with a coach who described what the moves should feel like, i.e. where my weight and balance would be if I was doing it right. I never could get that from watching a move like you'd expect a visual learner to do. And when I sing, for sight-singing or challenging passages I tend to play a sort of air keyboard to help me hit the notes. Also, and for some reason this surprises my choir-mates, I can always tell if we're singing a song in a lower or higher key than it's written because of the way the notes feel in my throat.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I came up much more visual than I expected; like Susan, a lot of the traits I have that are apparently Visual don't seem that way to me. I wonder if having really poor vision affects either my learning style or the way I perceive it.

Very strong visual, pretty even auditory/kinesthetic. I can see how words fall under visual when the word input is through the eyes as opposed to the ears. I read by absorbing blocks of words, not seeing each word as an individual unit with a sound. Reading a passage can have a different effect on me just by changing the font. The image of the word contains at least as much information for me as the sound.

I can read with a fair degree of general comprehension in nearly every European language. I cannot understand the spoken language unless I can understand it well enough to picture the words. This is all because I can see the inter-related words from the Romance languages and deduce the meanings.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Isn't that what Google is for? Or something? Annotated Bibliographies are a lot of work.

heh. Since you are you vw I know you know how to do research, and how to analyze secondary sources. But this amused me because I give my students an annotated bibliography assignment before the research paper, and I do it for one reason: the average grade on the research paper rose from a C+ to a B/B- once I started requiring it.

I was 5 for Visual and Auditory each, and 8 for Kinesthetic.

I just talked the Porsche people out of a cool idea that would have turned out really badly had we tried to do it this year.
