Audial, visual, kinesthetic - who are you?

Do you want to better understand yourself and others? To simplify your life and quickly find common language with other people? All this is possible and done quite easily, for this you just need to find out your psychotype or the psychotype of the interlocutor, then further communication will become much easier. We will tell you about what qualities the characters are for a particular type in this article.

Who is audial

These are people who understand and assimilate the world much better through hearing. Such individuals are quite rare, and their total number on earth does not exceed 7%. In communication, they try to listen carefully to their interlocutor. Sometimes it may seem that the auditory has lost the chain of thought, or stopped listening altogether by closing their eyes, but in fact, with their eyes closed, they absorb information even better.

Audials often face a problem in memorizing routes, people's faces, but they always surprisingly clearly memorize by ear phone numbers, lectures, phrases, voices, etc. Due to this peculiarity, they cannot work and concentrate and work in a room where music is playing or a TV is working. In communicating with them, you cannot raise your voice to them, they cannot be called names or scolded, so it will not work to establish a common language with them.

To remember something well, they just need to discuss it out loud. Pictures, diagrams - it won't work with them. There are several criteria by which you can identify an auditory:

• You can easily calculate the audial if you ask him to tell something. In addition, how a person will speak, it is important to listen to the words that they often say. For auditors, words such as: quiet, loud, audible and everything else that is directly related to hearing are characteristic.
• Audials often speak calmly, slowly, and quietly.
• They tend to avoid conflicts and quarrels, they almost never raise their voices or shout.

To find an approach to the auditor, during a conversation try to mention words close to him: “Do you hear?”, “Speak”, “Ask questions”, “Tell me”, etc. When communicating with such a person, try to pay attention to the sounds around you yourself. Sincerely notice aloud the beautiful birdsong or the murmur of the water. When talking to the audience, do not raise your voice, try to speak softly and calmly, and if you have a beautiful voice, it will become even easier to get closer to the audience.

Who is a visual

Visuals are the most common of all psychotypes, which is not surprising at all, because about 88% of all incoming information comes to us through visual analysis. If you like to look at something beautiful, it is important for you to look perfect, before you go out, you look in the mirror a hundred times, and the sight of the disorder starts to shake you nervously - most likely, you are a visual.

Women are especially often found among the visuals. This is exactly the category of ladies who are ready to endure uncomfortable shoes and wear uncomfortable clothes just to look beautiful, apply makeup even to go to the nearest store. Visuals are characterized by the following qualities:

• Visuals are very sociable, they easily flow into dialogues, support conversations, but as soon as the conversation ends, they can immediately forget everything that is most important. And in order for them to assimilate the information, you need to let them write down what they heard. If the data is not recorded on paper, nothing will remain in their head.
• They have an innate love for cleanliness and order: the books on the shelf are high, the socks in the closet are ironed and folded, not a single speck of dust is in the air.
• Clothes make the visual stand out from the crowd. She is always clean, tidy, ironed and beautiful. He attaches great importance to even the little things, although the little things in this matter do not exist for him. Everything in the image is clear - colors and accessories are combined, the hairstyle is perfect, as is the makeup. A tight synthetic dress in which the body does not breathe? It doesn't matter, but it perfectly emphasizes the figure, and its color is in harmony with the color of the owner's eyes! Walking in tight high-heeled shoes all day? For the visual, this is not a problem, but it is beautiful and slims legs.

Whatever it is about, the main thing for the visual is beauty. For them, it is not even so important what exactly will be presented to them, the main thing is that all this is beautiful and packaged properly. The visuals are hard to miss, they are striking. And in order to find a common language with them, you need to appreciate their sophisticated taste and amazing style.

Who is a kinesthetic

Unlike the two previous types, kinesthetics perceive the world through sensations. It is interesting, but we can say that every person is born by nature as a kinesthetic. To understand this, you just need to remember the kids who always strive to touch, touch and taste everything. This goes away with age, but, as is clear, not for everyone. Even for adults, you can notice such features as touching and feeling everything around.

The kinesthetic is characterized by:

• During a conversation, they may not look the other person in the eyes, but at the same time, on a subconscious level, they strive to get as close as possible to the person and touch him. This is not at all a manifestation of sympathy, and certainly not harassment, it is just through such a contact that they can better understand and hear.
• They tend to be distracted by their inner experiences and sensations, which is why they often look “withdrawn into themselves,” and they look as if he is bridging about something.
• Kinesthetics are people of action. They do not understand why people think about something for so long, they need to take it and do it. So what if the action will be wrong and then you have to redo everything, the main thing is just to do it.
• They value comfort very much, which may not fit in with order. Their home may be a total mess, but if they know they have everything they need at their fingertips, they feel at ease.
• They prefer an old and worn sweater, which is so pleasant to the body, to a beautiful and fashionable thing. As already mentioned, convenience for them is more important than beauty.

Summing up, we will give a small example of how each of the representatives of the psychotype perceives a certain situation. Let's say there is a dish on the table:

• The visual will definitely pay attention to how it is served, how it looks. No matter how they talk about his taste, no matter how great it smells, if his appearance leaves much to be desired, a person of this psychotype will not touch food.
• The first thing a kinesthetic will do is smell and try. He will not attach importance to the quality of the serving and the appearance of the dish.
• The audial will want to hear how and from what the dish was prepared and only then will he decide to try it or not.

What would you do in such a situation? The answer will show you which psychotype prevails in you. Remember, pure visuals, audials and kinesthetics do not exist, in everyone lives a little of each psychotype, just something is more actively developed.
