Intuitive Learning Style vs. Sensate Learning Style
Posted by PLB · Leave a Comment
The Four Dimensions of Learning are about how we relate to the world, make sense of ideas, make decisions and manage life in general. The Sensate learning style and Intuitive learning style are about how the subject takes in information and makes sense of ideas.
This area has much to do with preferences in communication.
Sensors often prefer to talk about what is. They are practical, detail-oriented and focus on facts and procedures. They tend to see ideas more as part of the physical reality and connected to what is.
Below is a table that sums up the difference between Sensate learning style and Intuitive learning style.
