    The document describes the Barsch Learning Style Inventory, a 24-item questionnaire intended to determine if a person has a preference for visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learning styles. Respondents indicate if each statement applies to them often, sometimes, or seldom. Points are assigned to each response, with often receiving 5 points, sometimes 3 points, and seldom 1 point. The points are totaled under each learning style preference to determine the respondent's scores for visual, auditory, and kinesthetic preferences. The document provides guidance on how to use the results, such as visual learners benefiting from seeing study materials like charts and maps, while kinesthetic learners learn best through physical involvement like tracing words.

    When you have identified your style, what do you do with that information? You need to
    build on your strengths and address your weaknesses. Most students have one
    dominant learning style. If you have scores that are close or tied, you can use either
    learning style equally well. To be flexible to meet any academic situation, you need to
    use your strengths but also try to build up your weaknesses. Those who learn to adapt
    study skills to incorporate all 3 learning styles learn faster and remember longer.

    If you are a VISUAL LEARNER, that is, then by all means be sure you see all study
    materials. Use charts, maps, filmstrips, notes and flashcards. Practice visualizing or
    picturing spelling words, for example, in your head. Write out everything for frequent
    and quick visual review. It is obvious you learn best when you SEE things… make it a
    point to see things.

    If you are an AUDITORY LEARNER, then be sure to use tapes. Sit in the front of the
    lecture hall or classroom where you can hear best and can review them frequently.
    Tape your class or lecture notes. After you read something, summarize it on tape or out
    loud. Verbally review spelling words, lectures or test material with a classmate or as part
    of a study group.

    If you are a KINESTHETIC LEARNER, you need to involve your body in the process of
    learning. Trace words, for example, as you are saying them. Facts that must be learned
    should be written several times. Keep a supply of scratch paper just for that purpose.
    Taking and keeping lecture notes will be very important. Take a walk and study your
    notes at the same time.
