It makes sense, given the nature of our business, that we understand not all people process information the same way. While some of us do better just by taking in a lecture, and storing the auditory version of the lesson in our brains just fine, others of us are visual learners.

The rise of the infographic on today’s Internet is likely an off-shoot of this idea: for visual learners, the rendering of statistics and information into graphic form is the best way to ingest a concept.
