Are You Visual, Auditory’or Kinesthetic?
Harrison Barnes | Dated:11-20-2009

You have probably heard before that people tend to be visual, auditory or kinesthetic.  In my experience, this is true and it is something you can generally pick up on within just a few minutes of meeting the average person.  Understanding whether or not you are one or the other is something that can help you understand what sort of work you should be doing, the sorts of people you should be working with, the people you should be spending your time with, and the type of environment that will make you happy.  In addition, you will make decisions and reach conclusions differently, depending on whether you are visual, auditory or kinesthetic. 

Throughout the average day, we are making hundreds of decisions about various things.  Most of the decisions we make are not based on pure analysis but, instead, on how we perceive and interpret the world.  A good part of this perception is based on whether or not we are primarily visual, auditory or kinesthetic.  When various concepts and ideas “make sense” to us, why they make sense is often outside of our conscious understanding–they just do.

  • People who are visual tend to act based on representations of how things “look” and “appear”.  When visual people speak, they say things like “it looks like” or “it appears” or “as I see it”.  Their descriptions of the world and of their experiences tend to be based on how things look, not how they feel or sound.
  • People who are auditory tend to act based on representations they make to themselves about how things “sound” to them.  They would be more likely to say they “hear what you are saying” than they “see what you are saying”, for example.
  • People who are kinesthetic tend to act based on how things “feel” to them.  When they speak  to you they will talk about things like “sensing” and “feeling” and “getting in touch” with various concepts before making decisions.
