This is not likely what you mainly meant, but I reread things at least twice, to understand every statement or fact made to make sure I clearly am not overlooking something very important, and to get an initial determination if I agree or not or could assist or not, then pick out the main idea they are trying to say, then quickly organize their other statements and details in my head, pushing away things I see that may not be relevant to the main issues or to be used for possible later discussion. I then look at things with a completely opposite perspective, to make sure the information is correct, comprehensive, and not missing something important.
Then I rack my brain to come up with extra details and information that could support what I read or their position, or that they could use to bring about more clarity or answers for their situation. If I disagree with the main argument or message content, I will usually either formulate lots of reasons why in my head based on all my experiences and after considering their positions again, and think such or state so in a constructive way so as to be thorough or to not to offend, and then back up what I think in my mind or say with sound reasoning and examples to support my position, as learning and expressing means being thorough, orderly & open minded.
So, I guess I learn best through trying to process things in clear, orderly, detailed, relevant, analytical and open minded way, after thinking about things much for not only what I read, but for all possible opposing viewpoints and solutions. I like to often ask myself the questions who, what, where, why, when and how in my head, to make sure to put everything into context. So, in a way, I have my own system for learning, and I do not assume ever what I read to be true or without bias, if their patterns or info seems off to me after analysis. As well, my own preferences for learning is to see things visually, as then I can reread, be more detailed and process things quicker.
