According to this learning styles test, I am mostly a visual learner, very conceptual, very independent, mostly creative and about equally balanced between a spatial and verbal orientation. About right. Now there are those who say that learning styles have no bearing on learning, but I have to say: put me in a situation with spoken instructions telling me exactly what to do in a step by step fashion, while making me work with a group or partner, and watch my scores drop... which is why I never did well at chemistry lab. I think the Javascript behind this learning styles test could be more elegant, but it's a nice illustration of the concept.
