I do well with written instructions.

I am so visual I am off of the scale. I cannot learn any other way, it is almost a disability.

How many here can look at somthing and figure out how the exterior puzzles back together??? |
I like pictures +(diagrams). When I design a pattern I try to have step by step diagrams to go with the instructions. Also the instructions are "short and sweet" no extra words. Its "cut 5 --two and one half inch strips WOF" (then a diagram)
"sub cut each strip into 16 -- 2 and one half inch squares" (diagram) etc. then visual people can look at the pictures and people who need the written directions have it too. Would you like directions like this? |
I am a visual person but need a pattern for the mesurements.

I definitely prefer visuals.
Many a time I have struggled through poorly written instructions only to discover once I've seen a photo, the areas where I made more work for myself. Gimme pictures (or good diagrams)... and lots of them! |
I am beyond a visual person. I am a visual addict. While I can read something a dozen times with lots of trial and error, one look at pics of how something is supposed to be put together or done and I am usually good to go.

Insructions are great - but without a picture they are worthless to me!
