Learning Styles

I was never comfortable in school, though I was a good student and loved learning.

Here are the characteristics of four primary thinking styles, charted by Kathleen A. Butler, Ph.D.1 The determinants are 1) concrete (real) or abstract (virtual) and 2) random (network) or sequential (linear) These traits combine for four different styles:
Concrete Random, Concrete Sequential, Abstract Random, Abstract Sequential.Most people are strong in one style, but share aspects of other styles.
