Has identified 6 learning styles based on how your use of

• kinesthetic, visual, auditory modes

are used primarily by your

• Conscious, Sub Conscious, UnConscious minds

Her Open Mind book covers this Model.

This page (find "rating your own modes") helps you do the mapping for yourself. (That page in general covers Educating Kids, Creativity, and Innovation.) Here's another quiz. I'm a VAK.

This page gives some simple summaries of each of the styles. This does too.

This series goes into more detail.

There's some connection to trigger a Flow State that I don't understand yet. I think the path is Activating the subconscious modality helps information transfer between conscious and unconscious. (People with K subconscious systems often jiggle their legs or stroke their faces while listening to a presentation, thinking deeply, or preparing to speak. When kids in school are told to stop jiggling, humming, or doodling, they may shut down their subconscious modality and stop learning or expressing themselves effectively.) By contrast, when people perform at genius level they generally utilize all three representation systems at once. They also activate both brain hemispheres, and experience simultaneous association and meta position. The latter seems characteristic of flow states as well.

Her Smart Parenting Revolution book applies this to having parents help their kids find their style/genius for greater Happiness/success. (Raising Kids)
