主動型的學習者比較適合團隊學習，偏好積極參加一些活動來理解所獲得的資訊，例如：參加討論、實際運用學到的知識、或是用自己的話向他人說明該訊息；而反思型的學習者則較偏好獨立去思考學習的內容。

Active learners are more suitable for team learning, and prefer to actively add some activities to understand the information obtained, such as: participating in discussions, making practical use of acquired knowledge, or explaining the information to others in their own words; Reflective learners prefer to think about new information quietly first.

感受型(Sensing)與直覺型(Intuitive)

感受型的學習者偏好學習具體的事物，喜歡發覺事物間的關聯性及可能性，偏好例子的學習方式。通常偏好用舊有的方式去處理問題，不喜歡處理複雜或是突發的狀況；而直覺型的學習者則喜歡求新求變，不喜歡重複且規律的事物。

Sensing learners tend to like learning facts, and prefer to solve problems by well-established methods. Also, they tend to be patient with details and good at memorizing facts and doing hands-on (laboratory) work. They dislike complications and surprises. Intuitive learners often prefer discovering possibilities and relationships. They may be good at grasping new concepts and are often more comfortable than with abstractions than sensing learners. Also they like innovation and dislike repetition.

視覺型(Visual)與文字型(Verbal)

視覺型學習者喜歡使用圖片、圖表、架構圖或影片等方式學習。 而文字型的學習者對於文字說明或是口述講解則可以有較好的學習效果。但通常資訊是同時以視覺和語文方式來呈現的，因此對所有的學習者都可以產生學習效果。

Visual learners remember best what they see - pictures, diagrams, flow charts, time lines, films, and demonstrations. Verbal learners get more out of words - written and spoken explanations. Everyone learns more when information is presented both visually and verbally.

循序型(Sequential)與總體型(Global)

循序型學習者傾向於從頭開始一步一步的學習，循著邏輯前進，比起整體概念，對步驟較有興趣。而總體型的學習者則偏好跳躍式的學習，先整體再細節，通常不會按照內容的前後順序依序學習，而是以隨機的方式吸收知識，之後才會突然之間領悟其中的關聯性。

Sequential learners tend to gain understanding in linear steps, with each step following logically from the previous one. Global learners tend to learn in large jumps, absorbing material almost randomly without seeing connections, and then suddenly “getting it.”
