13 Signs You’re A
Pretty Quick Learner
Casey Imafidon
According to a study it is discovered that fast
learners (specifically language learners)
have more white matter and less symmetrical brains.
Learning fast or being a quick learner depends on how we
use our brains.
Sometimes what seem so sophisticated needs the simplest
solution.
Here is how to know if you are a pretty quick learner.
1. You are not
afraid to say “I don’t know”
Pretty quick learners accept that they do not know it
all.
They keep their minds open and are willing to ask
questions and quiz for answers to know more. While some are reluctant are
hesitant to show their ignorance on a subject, quick learners are not.
2. You use the
Pareto principle
Quick learning has productivity attached to
it. According to Vilfredo Pareto you get 80%
of your results from 20% of the things you do. Quick
learners make use of this principle
by focusing on the fundamental and the most used items in
a series of difficult tests. They don’t chase after the whole bunch at once but
major their strength on the most necessary ones first.
3. You are able to
visualize it
When dealt with problems, quick learners are
multidimensional.
They take
advantage of how to deal with it with all their senses.
They visualize it by taking advantage of their mental
powers to drive solutions and learning.
4. You simplify
Quick learners know that difficult problems do not need a
difficult approach.
Many great minds from Thomas Edison to Henry Ford and
even Steve Jobs looked for ways
to address challenges with simple solutions. They
simplify and immerse themselves in their goals
to find the easiest and simplest way out of a hole.
5. You take action
After all is said and done, at the end of the day it is
up to you to take action.
If you are learning a new language you really cannot make
so much progress
if you do not speak the new language, whether you get it
right or not.
Quick learners learn by doing and taking decisive action.
6. You are
selective
You do not go after all the possible explanations or
solutions to a problem. Rather you take your time to broadly consider those
that are worthy of your attention and assessment.
Through this you are able to go after the most promising
solutions available.
7. You use
Parkinson’s Law
Tim Ferris, author of The 4-Hour Work
Week points out that much can be gained by combining
the use of Parkinson’s law and Pareto’s principle to
achieve solutions and learn faster.
While Pareto’s principle means streamlining to get more
out of your time, Parkinson’s Law
means you limit the time for learning so as to gain only
the most important things.
Quick learners only allocate enough time to grasp only
the most important part of a topic
and waste no time on the less important parts.
8. You know when
to stop
Quick learners know when to stop and not to proceed.
If something is not going in an answerable pattern, they
retreat. They understand the law
of diminishing returns and focus on only things that
provide a return on their investment.
9. You know how to
anticipate the future
What becomes old and stale is of no use to a quick
learner;
rather they have to be able to adapt and anticipate
future trends and situations.
You can focus on the future and how you can apply every
topic you are learning to it.
10. You understand
that many questions have no answers
Through selection you already have a sense of not going
after the wrong questions or topics.
You already know that when a question is complicated and
has so many threads attached to it,
there probably is no solution for it.
11. You can
explain it to a kid
After immersing and absorbing yourself in a topic,
you can communicate your thoughts and opinions on the
subject matter (even to a kid).
12. You are
positive
Quick learners do not show any negative attitude to
learning what is important to them.
They are positive even when they are faced with setbacks
and challenges.
13. You can seek
the opinions of experts
You know there are people who are better than you on a
subject.
Nobody learns so much without dedicating themselves to
the tutelage of a master!
