Why do you learn more from some teachers than from others?

It's tempting to think that we have favorite teachers and lecturers simply because the ones we like best are those who are better at their jobs.

Scientifically speaking, the truth is a little more complex than that.

    How we process and learn new information is more often influenced by our individual thinking, learning and communication styles.

In other words, we are drawn to a particular teacher or text book author because his or her communication style matches our own.

There are four basic types when it comes to thinking, learning and communicating: Synthesizer, Concluder, Interactor, and Analyzer.


Understanding your own thinking, learning and communication style is a key indicator of your academic performance.
