There is definitely a touch of logical in there, but more for problem-solving that for actual mathematics, which I was never good at...mainly because I needed to understand the 'why'. 'Just because' just doesn't cut the mustard with me *grin*<br /><br />I wonder if this relates to left or right brain dominance?oranniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14007355589161084262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27125272.post-3967883747650599752009-08-27T11:17:50.940-05:002009-08-27T11:17:50.940-05:00Excellent post.

I'm not at all aural, and not much kinesthetic. <br /><br />Members of my various writers groups tease me because I always take notes, but I have to write things down or I'd never remember anything. <br /><br />(I would have said I'm logical, due to my legal training, but your description relates logical to mathematics, and I'm terrible at math. Of course, legal logic is different from classical logic anyway.)Sphinx Inkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03429797402360703839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27125272.post-36016339831647825312009-08-27T07:52:22.346-05:002009-08-27T07:52:22.346-05:00I'm visual, verbal, and solitary.

The act of writing lecture notes in college (and reading them as I wrote) was enough that there was no need to refer back to the notes later. On the other hand, I am completely, utterly unable to retain anything said to me-- source of much frustration...<br /><br />And yeah, I do think my personal slant influences my reading: I enjoy the deeply kinesthetic fight scenes of John D MacDonald (spacial orientation) and James Lee Burke (internal sensation) to those of, say, Dean Koontz or Ross MacDonald. <br /><br />And those writers who love their vocabulary and wrod-combinations will always seem just a little bit pale to me next to those who build powerful images, even if it's with simple words.<br /><br />Great post, thought-provoking!Steve Malleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17561234111786788616noreply@blogger.com
