The Analytic Learners
OBSERVE
ANALYSE
THEORISE CLASSIFY
Seek continuity. Need to know what the experts think. Learn by thinking through ideas. They
form reality through sequential thinking. Need to critique information and collect data. Enjoy the
facts if situation is challenging or perplexing. Enjoy traditional classrooms. Like certainty and
are uncomfortable with subjectivity. Seek intellectual competence and personal effectiveness.
Favourite question:

in how
things work.
THREE
Let me try things.
The Common Sense
Learners
EXPERIMENT
MANIPULATE
IMPROVE
TINKER
They integrate theory and practice. They learn by testing theories and applying common sense.
They are pragmatists. They hold the maxim, if it works, use it. Down to earth problem-solvers
who resent being given the answer. Have a limited tolerance for ‘fuzzy’ ideas. They value
strategic thinking and are skills oriented. They experiment and tinker with things. They like
practical applications and hands-on activities.
Favourite question
How?
I am interested in self
discovery.
Let me teach it
TYPE
FOUR
to myself and others
The Dynamic
Learners
MODIFY
ADAPT
RISK
CREATE
They integrate experience and application. They learn by trial and error. Believers in selfdiscovery and are enthusiastic about new things. Are adaptable and even relish change. Excel
when flexibility is needed.
They often reach accurate conclusions in the absence of logical justification. Risk takers who
are at ease with people. Enrich reality by taking what is and adding something of themselves to
it. Like to act on and help others act on their own visions.
