Clues that may indicate a weakness with kinesthesia include:

Clumsiness in using eating utensils.
Difficulty expressing ideas in writing.
Inability to carry on a conversation while walking.
Awkwardness in dressing and grooming skills.
Trouble getting dressed, etc. in the dark or with eyes closed.
Difficulty in acquiring rapidity in typing, using a 10-key, computer keyboard, etc.
