A Learning Style Quiz
|
Put a checkmark beside each item that sounds like you.
1. “Try it out, if it doesn’t work, try something else” – the work it out approach
2. When I listen to something I find I can remember is best – better than reading, or doing.
3. I enjoy learning new things by reading books, manuals, Internet
4. I am good at working out things on my own – I seldom read the instructions
Each of your answers in this learning style quiz are designed to help you find your own unique way of assimilating information.
5. A graphic illustration, picture or drawing gives me an instant understanding, much more so that listening to someone tell me, or reading text.
6. I believe in the “listen and learn” approach – I enjoy debates and discussions, presentation and workshops where I can listen and pick up the information I need.
7. Enjoy learning from people, rather than read laborious instructions – the listen and learn approach
8. I am visual – if I can see someone else doing something, I can then do it myself.
9. Don’t give me written instructions, tell me what you want me to do or know. Written quizzes like this learning style quiz are ideal for you!
10. I am practical, hand on – give me something to play around with and I can work out how it works and how to fix it.
11. I can follow diagrams, plans and maps
12. Academic courses in school were not my favorites. I excelled in anything that involved physical movement and DOING!

If your Learning Style Quiz results were highest for Visual Learners, here are some tips for you:
Visual learners learn best from seeing.
Use any form of visual learning you can find – TV, videos, DVDs, Computer, Internet, Pictures, Books, Illustrations, Maps, Plans and Diagrams.
Live performances, workshops and presentations will give you some visual in addition to using the other senses as well.
If your Learning Style Quiz results were highest for Auditory Learners, here are some tips for you::
Auditory learners learn best from listening.
Talk to people about your topic, either explaining to them what you know, or discussing with knowledgeable people what they know.
Listen to audio CDs and MP3s ask someone to quiz you, listen to the radio or audio on the internet, go to live presentations and even close your eyes to avoid the visual distraction as you listen.
If your Learning Style Quiz results were highest for Tactile Learners, here are some tips for you:
Tactile Learners learn best by doing, so do!
If you are going for an interview, go there ahead of time to have experienced finding your way, parking and arriving on time.
Get someone to interview you so you have experienced the interview.
If you want to learn carpentry, just start making things – you will learn as you go. Apprenticeship programs suit you well, rather than in school studying.
If you must learn from the books, use highlighters to mark up your books – just the physical action of doing this will help you remember the material.
It is perfectly possible that you will have more than one learning style.
Some people are very strongly just one type. Others are evenly distributed between 2, or even all three.
Just take into account how you learn and you’ll find it much more enjoyable, and you’ll learn much more quickly too.
