Are you listening?

What sticks in your memory when you listen to a list of instructions? If the only thing that echoes is the last point, don't worry, you're not the only one. Many people's working style makes it almost impossible for them to remember what they hear... while others cannot understand how that's possible and end up feeling hurt, marginalized or ignored.

Learning Styles and James Cameron's Avatar

Whether you’ve seen the movie Avatar or not, you must have heard about it. People say:

• great visual effects;
• there is no story and it doesn’t matter;
• there is no story and it does matter;
• “I want to live on Pandora” (that’s the fictional world Avatar is set in);
• “I don’t get it: what’s all the hype about”?

These are all valid responses and opinions, and your own reaction to the movie may well depend on your own unique Learning Style.

You will probably love the movie and forgive it the rather predictable story line if you are:

• highly visual (external as well as internal), and/or
• internally kinesthetic (click here to learn what that means).

On the other hand, if your learning style is very left-brained, you may stop to analyse the plot holes so much, you’ll forget to look at the bigger - and amazingly beautiful 3D - picture. If a ripping good story is what you need to get you interested (highly right-brained learning style), you might come out feeling disappointed, too.

What is your learning style? Will you enjoy watching Avatar? Have a look here to find out.
