Lesson 1 - Learning Styles Inventory
Lesson 1 - Learning Styles Inventory
You will be presented with a 24-question questionnaire, where you must determine whether you “never”, “seldom”,
“sometimes”, “often”, or “always” do a task.
Each answer awards a certain number of points to one of three learning styles, indicated at the end of each question,
and will be presented with feedback related to which learning style category you fall into.
The Scoring:
Based on your answer of “never”, “seldom”, “sometimes”, “often”, or “always”, you will give the learning style
associated with that question a specific score from 1 to 5.
Sometimes = 3 Points
Keep track of the point tally for each learning style and add up your totals at the end.
Questions
1. The best way for me to remember new information is to listen to someone talking about it. (Auditory)
2. Seeing new information in written form as well as pictures, charts, and graphics, helps me to learn. (Visual)
4. I like to create posters, make models, and take part in other hands-on activities as I learn. (Kinesthetic)
5. When I am presented with visual information, it helps to have someone describe what I am learning. (Auditory)
11. I do best in class when I can listen to the teacher talk about the topic. (Auditory)
12. I have difficulty learning when I have to sit in a desk for a long time – I prefer to move around. (Kinesthetic)
13. When I’m studying for a test, it helps me to repeat information out loud to myself. (Auditory)
14. I prefer to read news in a magazine or newspaper rather than listen to the radio. (Visual)
15. I chew gum, snack, and/or move around a lot while doing homework or studying. (Kinesthetic)
17. I learn to spell words by writing them over and over. (Kinesthetic)
18. I would rather listen to a good guest speaker than read about the same topic in a book. (Auditory)
21. I prefer listening to the news on the radio rather than reading about it in the newspaper. (Auditory)
Now that you have finished the survey, add up the total number of points for each learning style and check
out your scores.
Visual=______ points
Auditory=______points
Knesthetic=______points
Your highest score indicates a preference to that specific learning category.
Your results likely suggest that you favour one of the three categories; each of us tends to have a preferred
learning style. But the results may also show that you do not always learn things in the same way. Different
learning styles come into play in different situations. No one learns things in just one way all of the time.
Now that you have your scores, please proceed to PART A of the
Worksheet for Lesson 1 to complete your reflection.
