Learning Styles & Multiple Intelligences

Making the test in classroom I've found out that I have a Visual/Spatial Intelligence. That's absolutely true. Visual/Spatial Intelligence means that you learn best through drawings and visual aids, so that you visualize in your mind the concepts you have to learn, making mental schemes and linking ideas to images. I usually learn this way. People with this kind of intelligence should help themselves by highlighting or underlining important passages of text or taking some notes in the page when they study as means of memory retention. I think that listening to the music for people with a Visual/Spatial Intelligence isn't so positive, because we need visual, not auditory aids.
