How INFJs acquire, memorize and recollect information:
The INFJ learner is versatile – both in practice and in action. Learning a language, and the multiple facets required to accomplish that goal, appeal to them in this way. They are able undertake numerous tasks to get the job done and typically develop a deep pool of diverse talents. They are idealistic, often working in sectors such as non-profit and government, and believe firmly in the power of the people to overcome struggle. They are able to think big picture, and develop a framework around information they receive in order to put it into place to reach an end goal.
INFJs are equally concerned both with their personal relationships and the overall wellbeing of humanity. Though they appear to be extroverted, INFJs will find themselves burned out after large-scale social interactions and desiring time alone to collect their thoughts. In certain situations, they may come off as socially awkward but actually make incredible public speakers and decision makers. They want to be at the forefront of planning and executing, and are not shy about sharing their thoughts with the group.
But when alone, the INFJ tends to box themselves away from people, often even those close to them. This type of person is as rare as the achievements they so often accumulate, and are a true asset to any team. Their convictions are as strong as their passion for helping others.
Contrary to INTJ learners, the INFJ builds their systems around people and humanistic values rather than around technological systems or data. They think people first, often to the point of knowing that certain goals or viewpoints may be unattainable in the big picture. Beyond this, the INFJ is similar in learning style to the INTJ. The INFJ is a critical thinker and often pessimistic about things they are taught or told – especially when what they learn is not the full story. The INFJ is a great campaigner, a strong influencer, and despite not always preferring to work publicly, is an excellent team player and leader.
Optimal Learning Situations:
- Areas where social change can be put into place.
- Their learning can benefit humanity as a whole.
- Their work can help those in need.
- They and their work can be recognized and has a major role in accomplishing the overall task at hand.
Where the INFJ Struggles:
- Constant social interaction without personal time to ‘mellow out’.
- There is no long-term societal benefit to learning the material or completing the task.
- They feel that their voice is not taken seriously or is not prioritized.

Your Learning Style Distribution
Visual learners can be divided into the more specific types. Both take in information by having time to process what they see, however memorization and understanding is triggered in vastly different ways. Let’s take a look at both types:
- Visual-linguistic learners best process information through writing and reading, thrive in lessons presented in text-driven formats, and are quite keen on taking notes. They memorize information through exercises that draw on their linguistic strengths and are able to express themselves sincerely through words.
- Visual-spatial learners are still visual learners – but in a strikingly different manner. Words are not their forte; they instead prefer images, infographics, and artistic renderings. The visual-spatial learner is the person who remembers the face of someone he/she met as a young child, despite not seeing the person for decades. They memorize places, sights, and locations by taking a mental picture and using the image to process associated feelings.
- Build lessons and assignments around visual aides.
- Use attachments such as maps, itineraries, articles, and photos to process and memorize information, and be able to recall it later.
- Take notes – whether that be text, drawing, or charts. Always make sure you’re taking something with you at the end of a lesson!
- Go through notes and ask questions – then modify as needed.
- Pay attention to pauses in a lesson – these are a great opportunity to ensure you have everything jotted down or drawn out.
- Minimize audible or visual distractions.
- Draw sketches/take notes in the margins of a page, in white space below paragraphs, or anywhere else that you have room.
Kinesthetic learners are a physical bunch. They like to touch, taste, smell, and be active within the lesson in order to best process and remember what they are learning. They struggle when a lesson or activity is too sedentary. There are two types of kinesthetic learners:
- Kinesthetic (movement) learners are all about getting involved. This type wants a deep dive where they are fully engaged with the material and can learn from the experience. External stimulation is the key to success.
- Tactile (touch) learners, on the other hand, are of a similar breed – they have trouble sitting still – but it’s not just about motion. They often opt to write down what they learn just to feel their hand move, and often want to peruse an overview of a lesson before getting into specifics. When traveling, they do much better looking at a map once in the location than prior to arrival, as they can place themselves in the map and figure it out from there.
- Make activities as active as possible. When learning a new language, engage in conversation regularly.
- Background music or other audio stimulation tends to help kinesthetic learners engage with and retain information.
- Highlight key points and/or draw sketches of the material.
- Take your time when working through a lesson to make sure you are fully engaged with what is being taught.
- Sensual stimuli such as foods, drinks, and physical objects that the learner can touch or interact with can be of immense help.
- Make complex tasks visual and interactive.
Auditory learners gain from, enjoy, and practice exactly what the name suggests. There are a few common and noticeable traits of auditory learners. For example, they often talk out loud to themselves, a process that helps them process thoughts and ideas and gives them a chance to clear their mind.
When reading, auditory learners are known to recite text out loud. If in a location where that is not appropriate or doable, they’ll move their lips as the read. While they benefit greatly from speaking, the auditory learner often struggles with remembering what they read, or in putting their thoughts to paper.
Tips for optimizing the auditory learning experience:
- Begin lessons and presentations with an overview of the process.
- Finish a document or presentation with a summary, giving the auditory learner a chance to recap. This is the old adage of “tell them what they are going to lean, teach them, and tell them what they have learned.”
- Employing the Socratic method of lecturing is a preferred way to help the auditory learner absorb the material presented to them. It allows them to both take information from a lesson and use their own knowledge to fill in the gaps.
- Auditory learners typically react well to inclusive activities. Ideation sessions where topics are written on a blackboard, for instance, give them the chance to not only speak their ideas but to see them written down. This triggers memory and often leads to productive deep dives on a specific topic.
- Recitation activities also resonate well with auditory learners. The more conversational, the better!
