We start with the person who loves to play with language; to tell stories and read and write. This learner is pretty good at remembering
names, places, dates, and similar. If you give this person an opportunity to hear, see and say words associated with the desired outcome, they will, readily, learn practically anything of interest to
them.
'Plays with Questions'
Here is a learner who likes to figure things out by asking questions, exploring, and doing some experimenting. This person is, usually, good at math, and
logic/problem solving.
This person learns best when you've provided opportunities to classify, categorize, and work with abstractions and their relationship to one another.
'Plays with Pictures'
This person is one who enjoys drawing, designing, and looking at pictures, slides, videos, and films.
This person is especially proficient at imagining, sensing changes,
doing puzzles, and reading charts and maps. Information is best absorbed by visualizing, using the 'mind's eye', manipulating (working in some way) with pictures and colors.
'Plays with Music
A hummer of tunes, a singer of songs; probably plays an instrument, and is always listening to music. This person excels at remembering melody, noticing the rhythms of life, and keeps perfect time.
Therefore, this learner gets new information via melodies, musical notation, or rhythm as an critical aspect of the delivery system.
'Plays with Moving'
A person in motion;
touching while talking, and using the body to express ideas. This person is a dancer, plays sports, and participates in producing a variety of crafts.
Learning here has to have a kinetic component;
interacting with space in some way so as to process, and remember, the new information through the body.
'Plays with Socializing'
The joiner; always with a group of people and talking with
friends. Leading others is a obvious skill, along with, organizing, mediating, communicating and generally understanding people and how to work well with them.
Impart new information to this person
by giving opportunities to compare and contrast, interview others with and about information, sharing ideas, and cooperating to accomplish any given task.
'Plays Alone'
This person really
does better alone; pursuing self defined interests. Excels at 'knowing' himself, follows instincts with confidence, and is an original.
New information is absorbed best when the projects are
individual, self-paced, and singularly oriented.
