They make good accountants, computer programmers, court recorders, mathematicians, music transcribers, circuit designers, shipping clerks, electrical engineers, proof readers, & cross-word puzzle devotees.

Semantic Learners thrive on ideas, concepts and language. These people can argue a case in court, write a novel or poem, handle public relations, make a presentation, get elected, negotiate, do counseling, explain their point of view, and teach.

Figural Learners like pictorial type information. These people are good at photography. They design buildings, bridges, landscapes and dress patterns. They can repair things. These people can read aerial maps by translating to the terrain what they have seen on the ground. They can build IKEA furniture without using the diagrams.
