However you calculate the totals, ensure the chosen method consistently throughout the
questionnaire. The total scores for each style indicate your relative preferred learning
style or styles. There are no rights or wrong answers. Some people have very strong
preferences, even to the extent that they have little or no preference in one or two of the
styles. Other people have more evenly balanced preferences, with no particularly strong
style. The point is simply to try to understand as much as you can about yourself and
your strengths (your preferred style or styles), and then make best use of learning
methods which suit your strengths , your preferred style or styles.
