There are many, many books out there that deal with the topic of learning styles. If you're truly interested in learning how you learn, reading one of these books can be very helpful.
Personally, we underwent learning style testing in the 9th grade to make us more aware of how we learned and how we could become better students by looking to learn things through the methods that worked best for us (this was also extremely valuable information to our teachers as well). I, for instance, am a visual learner. I learn best by being shown something, be it a diagram, a picture, an actual example, or a text description. In college, I used this knowledge to know that since I wasn't an auditory learner, I would always have to take notes. Taking notes helped me SEE what the professor was saying--and I was a very successful student, so it must have worked to some extent.
I'm sure one of the teachers here could recommend a book for you to read...my dad has attempted to get me to read several of them over the years, but I figure over the course of my Master's program and my eventual professional career I'll have to read lots of them. Yay.
