Focus on forms of intelligence rather than learning styles

from Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning by Peter C. Brown, Henry L. Roediger III, Mark A. McDaniel

How to Apply This

Widen your idea of intelligence
Instead of pigeonholing yourself by sticking to one preferred learning style, go wide and tap into all your intelligence to master any skill you desire. For example, write down whatever you want to learn or accomplish. List the competencies you require. Finally, go and acquire these skills.
Identify the underlying principles of the skill you’re learning
Figure out why an answer is correct and apply your logic to similar problems to test it.
Practice dynamic testing to continually improve your intelligence
Test yourself to identify your weaknesses and build on your strengths.
