Here is my VARK breakdown:
My scores were:
Visual: 11
Aural: 8
Read/Write: 14
Kinesthetic: 11
This seems pretty spot-on to me. I read all of the descriptions and I thought it was pretty cool that the explanations were arranged according to each type. I especially liked the kinesthetic one. I did not like the visual one. As always, I am perplexed by my "multimodal" preferences for things. Am I weird? I think I get it from my parents. My father is an engineer and I get my list-making habits from him (and believe me-it is a habit) My mother is a science teacher and while this may seem that it lends itself to more analytical things, she is very conceptual and big-picture minded. So, maybe that is the reason behind my multiple learning personalities. Some things I agreed with, that I can be swayed by the way things look (visual), but some things I did not agree with. For example, I like discussions and hearing stories and jokes. Maybe I would be a true-er split if I took it again. I agree completely with my main preference being in Reading/writing. I was skeptical about the kinesthetic part, until I read the description of the style. I like being surrounded by what is being studied and I like trial and error. If I am learning something computer based, it is best for me to do it over and over again to get the hang of it and not forget. I love to play cards, but cannot for the life of me remember any games until I start playing them! So, out of the many learning inventories I have taken, this was one of the best. I was please we could choose more than one answer, when I first took a glace at it, I freaked because I wanted to choose all of them! I hate having to pick just one and know that I am pigeon holing myself in the process. I will remember this and hopeful put what I learned from it to good use!
