Learning in style
Thanks to Peter Kirk and Tim Bulkeley for drawing my attention to the VARK questionnaire on learning styles. I think, before taking the test, I expected to come out with reading / writing dominant. Going through the questions made me revise that opinion, although the diagnosis still slightly surprised me.
Your scores were:
- Visual: 7
- Aural: 9
- Read/Write: 7
- Kinesthetic: 8
You have a multimodal (VARK) learning preference
I like being multimodal

I had similar results. However I found the questions quite odd and unclear; I doubt the accuracy of this test.

As I understand it the test is quite well tested
i.e. it is reliable, it also correlates well with other less formal ways to indicate such preferences, though none of the learning style tests is yet a really solid research instrument. This one was developed by the people who teach Victoria Uni’s teachers how to teach…
But then I’m biased - I think ALL questionnaires are weird.
BTW my spelling is often to the American standard, even if I first learned the British way, when I use a spelling checker it keeps having to be changed according to the audience for whom I am writing - so it is no wonder words like kinaesthetic escape me sometimes
