Learning Styles2

The document describes a learning styles assessment where participants rate statements about their learning preferences on a scale of often, sometimes, or seldom/never. The assessment measures visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles. Participants tally their scores in each category, with the highest score indicating their primary learning style. A secondary high score suggests an additional beneficial learning modality. The document provides clues about the characteristics of each learning style and tips for how to maximize learning based on one's identified preferences.

___ I enjoy sports and do well at several different types of sports.
___ I use my hands when describing things.
___ I have to rewrite or type my class notes to reinforce the material.
___ TOTAL
Total the score for each section. A score of 21 points or more in a modality indicates a strength in that
area. The highest of the 3 scores indicates the most efficient method of information intake. The second
highest score indicates the modality, which boosts the primary strength. For example, a score of 23 in the
visual modality indicates a strong visual learner. Such a learner benefits from the text, charts, graphs, etc.
If the second highest score is auditory, then the individual would benefit from audio tapes, lectures, etc. If
you are strong kinesthetically, then taking notes and rewriting class notes will reinforce information. You
may also find that two scores are equal or almost equal. Therefore, you are most likely a combination of
both types of learner.
