Auditory Learners tend to receive information best through sound (i.e. lectures, audio CDs, discussions).

Visual Learners receive information best through sight (i.e. whiteboards, PowerPoint presentations, reading material).

Kinesthetic Learners comprehend and retain information best when they are physically involved in the learning process.

Linear Thinkers prefer a structured approach to learning. For instance, if a procedure involves a series of steps (such as Step A, Step B, Step C), linear thinkers will feel more comfortable starting Step B only after Step A has been fully completed. Linear thinkers generally keep their work space clean and organized.
