If you chose mostly A’s you have a VISUAL learning style.

If you chose mostly B’s you have an AUDITORY learning style.

If you chose mostly C’s you have a KINAESTHETIC learning style.

Some people find that their learning style may be a blend of two or
three styles, in this case read about the styles that apply to you in
the explanation below.

When you have identified your learning style(s), read the learning
styles explanations and consider how this might help you to identify
learning and development that best meets your preference(s).

VAK Learning Styles Explanation

The VAK learning styles model suggests that most people can be
divided into one of three preferred styles of learning. These three
styles are as follows, (and there is no right or wrong learning style):

 Someone with a Visual learning style has a preference for seen

or observed things, including pictures, diagrams,
demonstrations, displays, handouts, films, flip-chart, etc. These
people will use phrases such as ‘show me’, ‘let’s have a look at
that’ and will be best able to perform a new task after reading
the instructions or watching someone else do it first. These are
the people who will work from lists and written directions and
instructions.

 Someone with an Auditory learning style has a preference for

the transfer of information through listening: to the spoken
word, of self or others, of sounds and noises. These people will
use phrases such as ‘tell me’, ‘let’s talk it over’ and will be best
able to perform a new task after listening to instructions from
an expert. These are the people who are happy being given
spoken instructions over the telephone, and can remember all
the words to songs that they hear!

 Someone with a Kinaesthetic learning style has a preference

for physical experience - touching, feeling, holding, doing,
practical hands-on experiences. These people will use phrases
such as ‘let me try’, ‘how do you feel?’ and will be best able to
perform a new task by going ahead and trying it out, learning
as they go. These are the people who like to experiment,
hands-on, and never look at the instructions first!

People commonly have a main preferred learning style, but this will
be part of a blend of all three. Some people have a very strong

preference; other people have a more even mixture of two or less

commonly, three styles.

When you know your preferred learning style(s) you understand the
type of learning that best suits you. This enables you to choose the
types of learning that work best for you.

There is no right or wrong learning style. The point is that there are
types of learning that are right for your own preferred learning style.

Please note that this is not a scientifically validated testing instrument

– it is a free assessment tool designed to give a broad indication of
preferred learning style(s).
