Totals Visual Auditory 8 Kinesthetic/Physical

However, as you calculate the totals, ensure you use the chosen method
consistently throughout the questionnaire. The total scores for each style
indicate your relative preferred learning style or styles. There is no right or
wrong answers. Some people have very strong preferences, even to the extent
that they have little or no preference in one or two of the styles. Other people
have more evenly balanced preferences, with no particularly strong style. The
point is simply to try to understand as much as you can about yourself and
your strengths (your preferred style or styles), and then make best use of
learning methods which suit your strengths (your preferred style or styles).

Learning styles a. Visual - The visual learner takes mental

pictures of information given, so in order for
this kind of learner to retain information, oral
or written, presentations of new information
must contain diagrams and drawings,
preferably in color. The visual learner can't
concentrate with a lot of activity around him
and will focus better and learn faster in a
quiet study environment.
b. Kinesthetic - described as the students in the
 Characteristics of learners

classroom, who have problems sitting still

and who often bounce their legs while
tapping their fingers on the desks. They are
often referred to as hyperactive students with
concentration issues.

c. Auditory- a learner who has the ability to

remember speeches and lectures in detail but
has a hard time with written text. Having to
read long texts is pointless and will not be

read aloud.
d. Activist - Learns by having a go
e. Reflector - Learns most from activities where
they can watch, listen and then review what
has happened.
f. Theorist - Learns most when ideas are linked
to existing theories and concepts.
g. Pragmatist - Learns most from learning
activities that are directly relevant to their
situation.

b. Working student
c. Solo parent
d. Others(please specify)
