What is Your Learning Style?

If you read this and other blogs with regularity, one of your talents may be that of a "learner." However, have you ever stopped to think about how you best learn and retain information? By the time we reach the workplace, most of us have a general sense for how we best learn.

If you're not sure or just interested in learning more about how you best obtain information, here's a link to a free online assessment you can take from North Carolina State University. It's free for your personal use and takes less than 10 minutes to complete. The results are provided immediately online.

Interesting, and my results were unsurprising (extreme bias toward active learning).

Note, however, that this is from North Carolina State University (NCSU). We also have the University of North Carolina (UNC) and North Carolina Central University (NCCU). North Carolina University doesn't exist.

Hi
I am doing some research into how learning styles and multiple intelligence could be of serious value in the world of advertising. I am arguing that should the producers of adverts be soundly familiar with and use LS then adverts would/could be more focussed and effective targeting very specific groups. Any comment/help/direction would be appreciated
