What Kind of Learner am I?

Learning about the seven different types of learners or learning styles made me really think what kind of a learner I am. I am not so sure I even know yet. I find myself leaning towards so many different styles of learning that I get myself confused. I thought that I was only a hands-on learner, but now after learning more in depth about each style, I think that I prefer auditory and visual. I am for certain that I don't prefer a couple of them. I know that I would rather learn on my own instead of being in a group, unless I get along with the people well, and I know that I don't like to hear people talk too much. I guess that would explain the results of my learning survey. It said that I am a visual and nonverbal learning. It also said that I enjoy learning by working with my hands. I think that I would have to agree with the survey results. I think it is a lot easier to be a learner if you listen more than you talk. I know that this statement is my own opinion based on my personal character. I think that God gave man two ears and one mouth for a reason; we must listen twice as much as we talk. I believe that observation, visually or auditory, is a key factor in learning. I believe that one must think things through before doing in order to be assured that the results will have less error. By observing and thinking, or not speaking, I have found my better way of learning.
