VISUAL (Seeing)
When the VISUAL style is preferred, the person is actually thinking in images or pictures. It is as if they have a movie camera in their mind they take in what they hear or read and translate it into images in their brain. We call these people VISUAL learners. When the VISUAL learner wants to recall what he or she has learned, they simply glance upward and look at the image that they have stored on their "picture screen". This process is much like going to the movies and then recalling what one has seen, in order to tell a friend. The memory process is taking place by reviewing the pictures from the movie and then easily talking about the story line to someone else. Visual learners speak in terms of "I see, I get the picture."

In a classroom, the VISUAL learner performs very well because all testing is conducted in a written "visual" format. This requires that VISUAL images be made when recalling information. Good readers read the black and white text and then convert the information into pictures. This makes the memory process easier. The VISUAL child will easily conform to most classroom standards, such as sitting quietly, writing neatly and organizing materials well.

When choosing careers, the VISUAL person selects those which fit the learning style: architect, designer, decorator, engineer, surgeon, and those which require a "vision" of the future, such as CEOs and other executive positions.
