I think my results from quiz on learning styles is accurate. I learn by interacting with others because I am a social person. I like quizzing others on the material for my classes (basically teaching what I am supposed to know) to improve my own understanding of the material. Practice makes perfect right?
I learn by doing. I have always been involved in physical activities including sports and can usually understand how to do some action when I get involved and do it myself. In sports, I often was a leader and captain. I like doing the activity and modeling it for others. This kind of explains how my two highest learning styles according to the quiz is interpersonal and body-kinesthetic.
My lowest score on the quiz was in linguistic learning. Although I do like hearing lectures rather then reading them, I do not retain most of information that I hear. If I am given multiple tasks to do, I have to write it down or I will most likely forget about it.
Instead of trying to teach each lesson with every learning style (that would take too much time and energy), teachers should mix up different types of activities so individuals from all different types of learning styles will be able to benefit. Maybe those weaker in some learning styles, with practice and exposure, could increase their ability to learn in that particular way.
I don't think you can miss by trying to teach using a variety of learning styles. I think the styles overlap in a sense. None of them are so dominating that learning is ones less dominate style could be totally ineffective.
