I prefer to learn by reading, but the test gave Aural as my predominant style. I think listening is the best option to learn, because you can learn from people that know more than you.

I can see my self as aural learner. I’ve always found it easier that way and better and I feel as if I’ve always done better at everything listening.

I can tell I am aural, very easily, even when I am currently in school, and there have been plenty of times where I just stare off in a random direction, while just hearing what they say. Along with that when I usually hear a random background sound I look in it, with no real control so there is something up with my ears

I have a mix of visual, aural, Read/write, and kinesthetic. I like listening to videos, but I like to have the subtitles on. I hear just fine, but it helps stimulate me. I also fidget, A LOT. And I LOVE books. How I learn is very…..unique. :)

I do consider myself to be an Aural learner, mainly from the way I retain information. When studying it is apparent that I have an Aural preference due to me having to discuss or explain out loud to understand, which is also my study strategy.

I do not consider myself to be Aural at all. I am someone who likes to do not just read. I want to be watching a video while the computer is beside me doing what they are doing and physically seeing where it is on my screen.
I fall asleep easy if I just read all the times and don’t have the interaction.
