However, you calculate the totals, ensure you use 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.
