I was wondering if this would be tied to personality type, and/or whether within the personality type, an individual prefers audio, visual, or tactile interactions (or none of the above).

As for me I generally do not like to listen to anything while driving or at home, as I find it interferes with my thoughts. I consider myself an INFP (with at strong T component) and a visual learner.

I'm an INFP and I listen to audio books, lectures, and NPR in my car most of the time and music the rest of the time.

At home I like to have on documentary TV (to listen to) when I'm doing fairly mindless work like cleaning or organizing my library.

INTj - I like having books to listen to for long trips, and if I remember to go to the library I'll listen to them on my commute. However if I need to do something that requires a lot of concentration, I can't listen.

Hey readafew - I'm also INTJ! I love listening to books to and from work (I'm on book 6 of Harry Potter (again), having started with book 1 on January 1st).

When not listening to books, I listen to NPR, with occasional forays into CDs, but only very occasional.

ESFP here. The radio is on in the car most of the time and I'm constantly switching channels to escape commercials since I'm pre-satellite radio. I have 3 NPR channels, classical, contemporary & talk, and am usually on one of them unless they are telling a really depressing story. I'm an easy listening kind of person at home unless I'm cleaning house then it's Motorhead, Jethro Tull or Prince, speeds the cleaning along. ;-)

INTP. Always listening to NPR in the car. At home I listen on the NPR website when doing mindless drudgery. There have been times when I listened to a lot of music, but it hasn't happened lately.

ENFP and I am always listening to a book if I am alone and not reading, listening to NPR, or watching TV. Sometimes I listen to music on the stereo while listening to a book on my headphones.

I'm ENTP, and I will listen to music in the car. I usually don't tolerate NPR, although I liked CBC when I lived on the Canadian border.

I will read a book and watch TV, but this isn't the question asked.

ENTJ, listen to lots of loud and bouncy music while I do menial tasks at home. I can't focus on more complex tasks with music, though, like writing or reading.
