Reddit mentions of Open Mind: Discovering the Six Patterns of Natural Intelligence

Okay, I'm going to go off on a tangent here, please bear with me.

I had to read this book called Open Mind by Dawna Markova, PhD for a class and it talks about styles of learning. There are three ways to absorb info (according to Markova): Kinetic, Audio, Visual. We use all three, but we tend to learn better with one style and we tend to be "sensitive" or over-stimulated by another.

I am a kinetic learner, which means I learn by doing and touching. If I have to read a book, I need to make notes about it because the physical act of writing it down helps me to learn. I will probably never look at the notes again, because it was the act of writing that was important.

I am also visually sensitive, so I will be distracted by pictures. I won't hold eye contact for long with people and if I close my eyes during a lecture, I understand more.

In my class we broke into groups by learning style and I know for a fact that one other person was an INFP (with a moderate I, not a strong I) and the others had very ENFP like traits. (I should have asked they MB type while we were grouped up, but didn't think to)

I would encourage others who are interested in learning style to pick up the book. (cheap used on Amazon) Or you could find it in other places
