I took a learning style test when in college.  Very high on kinesthetic (active).  That is probably the worst learning style to have, since it mimics many of the traits of ADHD.  In fact, some kinesthetic learners are misdiagnosed as having ADHD.

Here is a journal article on why handwriting notes is better than typing:

Yeah I tested as Naturalistic which is me to a T, however it is very similar to kinesthetic in some ways, its also newer to the Gardner Multiple intelligences so some controversy is around it. What do you think are you a kinesthetic learner does the traits of that style fit you at all?

I find it helps to read through the information a couple times, then make a few outlines.  The repetition tends to help.
Yeah liikke I said befor I like to do note sin outline form anyway, it has the added advantage of the fact you already have the start of a general outline for any papers you may need to write.
