Scientific reasoning and mathematical skills come easily to the person who has a high intelligence in this learning style. The visual/spatial learning style is one that can visualize the end result and or how the task will grow and progress. It is common for the person who possesses this learning style to be efficient in understanding maps and graphs. Each style is uniquely different in its own way and when one style needs a little guidance there is another to help. The visual/spatial member could essentially have an idea of how the task will evolve; the verbal/linguistic member could then explain the idea that the visual spatial member has so that the logical/mathematical member could remove any unnecessary information that did not need to be included. By using each other’s strengths the group will be able to complete a task collaboratively.
To pull the team even closer it is important to know the personality type of the people in the group. The...
