At Head First, we know that learning styles vary widely from person to person, which is why we use multiple presentation styles to teach each concept: diagrams for visual learners, dialogues for aural learners, exercises for people who tend to learn best by jumping right in and experimenting.
But this begs the all-important question: What kind of learner are you?
The education theorist David Kolb created a Learning Style Inventory in the 1970s to classify people into four categories based on their learning abilities: convergers, divergers, assimilators, and accommodators. Read more about these groups here, and find out which learning style best describes you.

I think it depends how I am feeling on a particular day. Pictures are great and are good at giving an overview, but I kinda like backup text to get deeper.
But it's just a format thing. I like to interact rather than just passively receive info. Engagement and variety.
Like Plato, an assimilator.
Yes, exactly. The Learning Style Inventory is effectively a psychometric test used to gauge your learning style, and thus your suitability for certain jobs.
