DD6 is a classic V/S learner. Her RIAS scores exposed that, where she was in the 92nd percentile for the verbal section and 99.69th percentile for non-verbal.
Some of her giveaways that aren't on the aculady-corrected (well done!) list:
- She responds strongly to pictures when we introduce a new concept, and she wants to see more.
- Often when she's telling a story, she feels the need to re-enact it with stuffed animals.
- She uses visual terms when describing the learning process ("Do you see?", etc.).
And because I'm a V/S type myself, here are some of my giveaways:
- Tell me your name, and if it's a common one, I can probably remember it if I put in an effort, but I won't be sure of myself. If it's an unusual one, I've already forgotten it. But if I see it written down, I'll remember it forever.
- I've demonstrated a strong ability at learning foreign languages, but the immersion method (ie. Rosetta Stone) is a waste of my time and money.
- I know maps were mentioned on the list, but it bears expanding. Verbal directions are the quickest way to get me lost. Let me look at it on a map, though, and not only will the trip go smoothly, but I'll even be able to smoothly adjust in the unlikely event that we miss a turn.
