Verbal Linguistic Learners are the "word" learners. I lump them together with musical and interpersonal learners.

You Are a Verbal-Linguistic Learner
Your mantra: Tell me in words -- written or spoken -- and I will understand.
Verbal-linguistic intelligence (along with logical-mathematical intelligence) is
often associated with doing well in school. You have the ability to use words
effectively for reading, writing, listening, and speaking. The poet has been
described as the epitome of verbal-linguistic intelligence.
Tips for the way you learn: Use words to explain complicated subjects.
Ask questions.
Engage in the Socratic method, digesting information through a
question-and-answer exchange.
Hone your native ability to tell a story.
You Are a Musical Learner
Your mantra: That sounds good to me!
You probably sing to yourself while walking down the street. Keep it up! Musical
intelligence is associated with enjoying music, singing (vocalists), making
music (composers), and playing an instrument (instrumentalists). You are
sensitive to sounds and the emotions music conveys. You have a unique ability to
know when something is off key.
Tips for the way you learn: Listen to music while you study to connect its patterns and sounds with the
subject you are studying. Replay the same song just before a test.
Create a rhyme, song, or chant for material you would like to memorize.
Associate what you're learning with a song you like.
Use your ability to distinguish sounds as well as hear the beat, tone, or chord
in a song by learning an instrument or mixing sound.
You Are an Interpersonal Learner
Your mantra: I understand what you mean.
Interpersonal learners thrive on social interaction. Friends often ask you for
advice because you are understanding and in tune with the people around you and
their motives, emotions, perspectives, and moods.
Your ability to manage relationships helps you understand situations and take a
leadership role when necessary. You enjoy teaching and sharing your thoughts.
Careers that require insight and the ability to read what someone else is
thinking or feeling -- such as teaching, psychology, or sales -- would be a
great match for those with interpersonal intelligence.
Tips for the way you learn: Give and receive feedback.
Talk out problems.
Work on large-group projects so you can use your social abilities to divide up
tasks and understand all aspects of the project.
Be a part of active learning through mentoring, tutoring, or an apprenticeship.
This activity will reinforce your own knowledge or abilities.
