How You Learn Throughout Life: On The Job

Do you know your learning style?


Whatever your age, it's important to know how you learn best. To shed some light on your personal learning style, grab a pencil and ask yourself:

  • Do you prefer group or one-on-one instruction?
  • Would you rather learn from someone or self-direct your learning?
  • Do you read instructions thoroughly before trying something new, or do you refer to the manual only if you run into trouble?
  • Would you rather watch a video demonstration of a new procedure, or simply read the description?
  • Do you find it helpful to have someone knowledgeable show you how it's done?
  • Do you like to control your own learning or prefer to be told how or what to do by an expert?
