I am a Reader

I am a reader who reads for fun.

I am a reader who reads to learn.

I am a reader who hates grounded stories.

I am a reader who hates when something ends.

I am a reader who has trouble visualizing characters.

I am a reader who can read anywhere.

I am a reader who reads the same things twice.

I am a reader who skims descriptions of landscapes.

I am a reader who reads for characters.

I am a reader who reads to live.


Based on these, I think it's hard to say exactly what type of reader I am. A lot of what I do seems to be from Behaviorist point of view. Growing up, it took me a little longer to get things, making me read things over and over again before I fully got them. Now, being an adult, I am able to understand things easily the first time, but I still read it twice.

But on that note, I have a hard time visualizing things with words, which would suggest Cognitive view on my reading.

Yet, I am also obsessed with characters, and viewing the various strife and troubles they go through, feeling connected to them through their actions. Is this a Community based mindset?

As said, from my stand point, I cannot honestly say that it is one way or the other definitively. For sure, I am an amalgamation of all four to different extents. But, if I have to choose one, I would say I was definitely influenced by Behaviorism the most out of them. I saw what others did around me, I was influenced by them, and emulated them. Or is that Social Constructivism? I still have so much to learn.
