I am currently reading Talkers, Watchers, & Doers by Cheri Fuller and am so surprised at how engaging it is. Maybe deep down, we all like to read about ourselves and that has something to do with it.

The book is mainly about learning styles and how knowing a child's learning style can help you be a better teacher or parent. But since the topic itself is learning styles, it's easy to apply it individually as well.

I am now on page 54 but I just had to jot down some of the common points for each learning style. I've been trying to pinpoint my own learning style since I started the book. I'm still feeling it out, but I think I'm a Talker/Watcher with a little more emphasis on the Talker side.

What's your learning style? Or your husband's or your child's (children's)? Fuller points out in the book that many people have more than one learning style, but they usually use one more heavily than the other. I'd love to hear what you all think.

Here's a quick quiz from bits of the book thus far:

When you remember a number:

• Do you say it out loud or repeat it several times in your mind? (Talker/Auditory)
• Does your mind's eye "see" the number written in your address book? (Watcher/Visual)
• Do you move your finger over an imaginary touch pad of the phone? (Doer/Kinesthetic)

• Do you need clearly written directions telling in words how to get somewhere? (Auditory)
• Do you like to use maps to find out how to get somewhere? (Visual)
• Do you just have a "feel" for where you're going and how to find it? (Kinesthetic)

• "A place for everything and everything in its place." (Visual)
• "Let's talk about it." (Auditory)
• "I'd rather have a creative mess than tidy idleness." (Kinesthetic)
