Learning Styles - VAK test
1. Introduction
This is a questionnaire that will help you get a hint on your preferred VAK learning style. VAK stands for Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic. This test will definitely not define your preferred learning styles. After taking this test and reading and learning more about the VAK model you will be able to better understand that people prefer to learn in different ways. Read carefully each question and the three possible answers. Select the one that applies the most to you and the second one that applies the most. After finishing with all the questions add up the total answers that you got for each letter and fill out the outcomes spreadsheet. You can calculate the third column knowing that there are in total 30 questions.
