[stylist] Learning methods

Tue Sep 27 01:33:32 UTC 2011

 From your description of yourself earlier, and posts in general you 
are a very visual person. You did elude to needing all senses to 
learn, not just kinesthetic. Again that is the goal to be balanced. 
Imagine a  total visual person, always toggled to the on position, 
and  then released into a romantic relationship? lol I think we learn 
in life, hopefully so anyway, that we need to use what suits our 
situations for best results :). I will say, and I forget where you 
hail  from, but folks north of  Dixie as it were, are generally "Give 
me my  private space and its posted as Do Not Enter".  Down south, my 
experience living there anyway has been most are much more in your 
face friendly. That is a real generalization bordering stereotype I 
suppose in itself lol. But that is my limited experience.

>visual types tend to have a "do" type attitude. They might talk in
>terms of "lookks good to me", "I can see that yes", you know those
>kinds of expressions. They will "do " things for people, more  active
>types, more hands on, more fast paced even. Auditory types might talk
>in terms of "Sounds good to me", "I hear ya on that one", and tend to
>be listeners. It is important to listen and to be listened to, to
>express things  and intake audibly. Kinesthetic types are the
>huggers. Those folks that get right up in your face and talk to you
>with a sweaty hand on your's, or gripping your arm all the way
>through the 15 minute greeting lol. The kind that greet you with a
>hug before anything. The kind that are ruled by feeling and emotion.
>So you can imagine what happens when  a visual person such as myself

>off my arm before I get overtly obvious their grip on me is an
>invasion and I'm just not really listening to a word they're saying.
>I'm really scheming behind the eyes how I can get their hand off me
>lol. As a visual type, I want my space,. I need my whole field of
>vision to operate for me to be most comfortable. But the kenesthetic
>person invariably jumps in my face,  gives me a hug or shakes the
>eternal hand shake, saying how much they missed me and all that.

>Visual folks think "Anyone can  say they love you and giving a hug is
>the same thing, anyone can do that, but take the hour or two out of
>your life to do something for or with them, maybe go out and buy them
>something for a surprise, now that's showing them you care".

>Auditory think similar in that anyone can  just simply "do" something
>for someone else, and hugs too, yeah, everyone hugs everyone all the
>time, it means nothing, its cordial, I want to be told I'm loved.

>Kinesthetic people think that simpley doing a cold act or task for

>caring. And Telling them is better but still its just words. To show
