"They like to hear quick sounds and they are very organized. They are also good spellers who can imagine and visualize the words in their minds. In addition, visual students have good handwriting, and they can remember the spelling of the words by writing the words on paper rather than by moving their mouths and pronouncing words as they read. They also like to learn by using pictures, maps, and charts" (Al-Failkawei, 2005).
Out of the particular learning types that were described in this article, I feel that I would be considered a "visual learner." I found this statement interesting because while I agree with it for the most part, I find issues with the descriptions of certain characteristics. I do fairly well in my spelling abilities, and my consciousness is word based. Though, I must admit I'm not the tidiest person, and I have the handwriting of a 5th grader. I further find error with this statement because it has always been my assumption that, for the most part, writers tend to be a bit disorganized. Well, that's the stereotype anyway. In general, I usually don't like to assume certain characteristic based on abilities or life style choices. There is always an exception, I suppose.
