I am 92% Verbal-Linguistic and 88% Interpersonal.

You Are a Verbal-Linguistic Learner
Your mantra: Tell me in words -- written or spoken -- and I will understand.
Verbal-linguistic intelligence (along with logical-mathematical intelligence) is often associated with doing well in school. You have the ability to use words effectively for reading, writing, listening, and speaking. The poet has been described as the epitome of verbal-linguistic intelligence.
Tips for the way you learn:
• Use words to explain complicated subjects.
• Ask questions.
• Engage in the Socratic method, digesting information through a question-and-answer exchange.
• Hone your native ability to tell a story.

You Are an Interpersonal Learner
Your mantra: I understand what you mean.
Interpersonal learners thrive on social interaction. Friends often ask you for advice because you are understanding and in tune with the people around you and their motives, emotions, perspectives, and moods.
Your ability to manage relationships helps you understand situations and take a leadership role when necessary. You enjoy teaching and sharing your thoughts.
Careers that require insight and the ability to read what someone else is thinking or feeling -- such as teaching, psychology, or sales -- would be a great match for those with interpersonal intelligence.
Tips for the way you learn:
• Give and receive feedback.
• Talk out problems.
• Work on large-group projects so you can use your social abilities to divide up tasks and understand all aspects of the project.
• Be a part of active learning through mentoring, tutoring, or an apprenticeship. This activity will reinforce your own knowledge or abilities.

I knew this to be true just didn't realize how predominate both were. Give it a try then go learn something new with your style of learning….REMEMBER KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!
