What kind of learner are you?

Published

I took this quiz (http://www.vark-learn.com/english/page.asp?p=questionnaire) a few minutes ago and the results seemed to be pretty spot on. It says I am multimodal (a mixture of the catagories, aprox 60% of the population is multi's) and the helpsheets were pretty informative. Im going to implement the things I didnt already use into my study habits next semester.

What kind of learner are you?

[color=#666699]the vark questionnaire results

your scores were:

  • visual: 9
  • aural: 2
  • read/write: 13
  • kinesthetic: 9

you have a multimodal (vrk) learning preference.

thanks for the link.

You have a mild Aural learning preference

I know I am a aural learner. But I don't agree with the kinesthetic scoring higher than the visual for me. I know I learn something the best and fastest if I hear the lecture, watch it being done (or see an animation of the subject matter) and then do it myself. (listen/watch/do is my best way to learn). The way I learned in school was listening to the instructor (which is the exact reason I never missed class, I needed to hear them give the lecture) and watching him/her. When the test came around I could "hear" the teacher, if the info just wouldn't come up I'd close my eyes and I'd hear the instructor but could see what they were wearing, where they were when they said it, their facial expression etc and usually I could then "hear' the answer. I could also close my eyes and "see" the book. I could see the page the info was on, I could see where it was located on the page, etc and then get the answer from there.

I do not learn well with reading/writing. However I love to read and do it all the time. And I'd prefer not to be read to, if I am able to read it myself (as the other poster said, for example a letter from someone) I retain the info better than someone reading the into to me.

Thankfully, I didn't bend when they tried to change my way of learning. I stuck to my guns

i'm multi ARK but i think i'm more of a kinesthetic learner

Strong read/write and visual tendency- make sense considering if I see or write something I remember it for pretty much forever.

Thanks

I didn't know I could choose more than one answer, so I took the questionnaire again:

Visual: 7

Aural: 4

Read/Write: 12

Kinesthetic: 7

The results are pretty much the same. I agree that this will help me create better study methods.

They say I fall into a majority with this ....

I'm surprised my visual came in so low. But then again I'm an online student and I haven't seen words on a chalk board in decades. Power point is standard for demo and instruction in my world and I suppose that is multi-modal so I guess there's something to the survey.

Now see, being so strongly orientated as a reader it isn't a wonder that I do so well in distance learning. I remember nothing from lectures.

As to the clinical, let me do it and I've got it. Show me? No, I do NOT see it. I need to DO it.

Interesting. Maybe anyone thinking of distance ed should take this.

I can see why the read/write score would be high, as I usually just read through a chapter once and I've got most of the material down, but the visual and aural scores seemed strangely low. I guess I have a preference for reading, but thats mainly because I feel like most professors go at a slower pace when lecturing than they should be. The end result is that my mind starts to wander, and many people seem under the impression that I'm not paying attention, or I don't care. The funny thing is, that if you were to suddenly ask me a question about the material, I could more or less repeat the whole lecture to you. Its really the same with visual cues. I somehow manage to absorb things well enough to explain them in a reasonably detailed manner, even when I don't seem to be giving the material my full attention. The kinesthetic score seems about right, though, as usually I don't really care about physically doing something in order to learn a given skill or set of information

I'm the same way, you should see my notebooks from lecture. I doodle something fierce. When I was taking my bio final i just had to see the powerpoint from lecture, what the professor wrote on the board or my own notes and I had it. I also write out flash cards and study them repeatedly.

The funny part is when you have a particularly memorable doodle/drawing that you come to associate with an entire page of notes on cellular respiration or something like that....Every now and then, I'll remember a drawing, start laughing to myself about it, and then everything else I had written on the page will usually come to me...
