Learning Style NBI®

Learning Style NBI® profile will give you an insight into your learning style, issues that are important to you when studying and also identifies where there could be room for improvement!

Every student has a strategy they use to remember information more efficiently while studying. Some of them take notes; some make diagrams; some prefer to listen to lectures, etc. Since no learning style fits all students, scientists have conducted research in order to understand the way students learn new information best.

Logical/analytical learners depend on logic and analytical skills to understand a particular subject. These types of learners search for connections, causes, patterns, and results in their learning. Social/linguistic learners favour educational lessons that include peer work or participation. Learners get two things out of this participation: socializing (which they love) and a better understanding of a subject. Solitary learners, otherwise known as solo learners, are the opposite of social learners. Solitary learners prefer to study alone without having to interact with other learners. Individual work is a solo student’s forte. Nature learners excel when in contact with nature. A nature learner’s ideal study environment is a calm and relaxing environment. If we had to compare nature learners with another type, it would be tactile learners. The only difference is the nature part of this deal, as nature learners need to be outside to learn better.

Developing a better learning style, increased concentration and better results are but a few of the advantages of understanding your own thinking profile and help your teachers better understand you.

Because the focus is on thinking preferences the end result is neither good nor bad. The NBI® Learning Style Profile is a descriptive and objective analysis of the individual’s thinking choices, with no profile being better or worse than another. Instead, the report gives a description of an individual’s thought preferences, and makes recommendations based on those.
