Several people I know put on their resumes that they’re fast learners. I saw another resume today with that on it, and it made me start thinking about what it means to be a fast learner, and why people think it’s worthwhile to include that on a resume. After all, there are many hiring managers who will tell you that being a fast contributor or a steady learner is more attractive than being a fast learner. How do people really know if they’re fast learners in the first place?

很多人都喜欢在个人简历中自称拥有快速学习的能力。
为什么人们喜欢强调这种能力,以及如何确定你是否真的具备这种能力呢?
毕竟,对于雇主而言,更有吸引力的是,拥有高效的产出、以及稳定的学习能力。

I decided to do a little research on this topic, and what I found was quite interesting. Think about all the things in your life that you learned fast, and they are probably the same things that you are passionate about and that you excel at. Think about the things in your life that you didn’t learn fast. Those are probably things you weren’t interested in, right?

我决定对这个话题进行一些研究,然后发现了一些有趣的内容。想想你过去经历中所有快速学到的东西,它们很可能与你热爱并且擅长的事物相关。与之相反,那些你不感兴趣的东西,也没有成为你能快速学习掌握的事情。

One of the keys to becoming a fast learner is figuring out which learning style you are able to comprehend information in best. Many people digest information best when it’s in a visual format (which might have something to do with why infographics have become so popular). Others prefer auditory learning, and other people are kinesthetic learners (meaning they learn from doing the activity rather than reading about it or listening to information about it).

成为快速学习者的关键,是确定哪种学习方式能够更好的理解信息。
一图胜千言,”视觉“是很多人接受信息的最佳模式(这可能就是信息图表变得如此受欢迎的原因)。
”听觉“是另一部分学习者喜欢的方式,还有一部分人则是”动觉“学习者(这意味着他们通过相关活动来学习,而不是通过阅读或倾听。

There is even a scientific aspect to being able to learn things fast. According to this article on New Scientist, fast learners (specifically fast language learners) have more white matter and less symmetrical brains than people who are not fast learners. The fear of failure and fear of rejection also affect the speed at which we learn new things.

快速学习甚至还有一个科学解释。根据新科学家的这篇文章,快速学习者(特别是快速语言学习者)和其他人相比,大脑拥有更多的白质,并且更具不对称性。
此外,”害怕失败“和”不懂拒绝“,也会严重影响我们学习新事物的速度。

If you are wondering whether or not you learn things fast, there may be a way to figure it out. According to Funders and Founders, there are seven signs that point to the fact that you are a fast learner. You can view them in the chart below. I notice one underlying thread in this chart, and that is simplicity. As Leonardo da Vinci once said, simplicity is the ultimate sophistication, and amongst other things, I suppose that applies to learning.

如果你想知道你是否具备快速学习的能力,这里有个方法。根据研究报告,有七个迹象可以表明你是一个快速学习者,请参考配图。我注意到这个图表中有一个底层逻辑,那就是“简单性”。正如莱昂纳多达芬奇曾经说过的那样,“最复杂的就是简单”,除此之外,我认为它适用于学习。
