How do you VARK?

 HT: FosterEema

Have you seen the VARK? It’s an interesting test developed by some guy in New Zealand, and it measures (apparently with a reasonable degree of accuracy) what learning styles work best for individual people. The test (which is available online, and on paper in both adult and “young adult” forms) produces ratings from 0 to 16 on four scales that reflect the four main modes of learning that people use.

The VARK Questionnaire Results

Your scores were:

  • Visual: 7
  • Aural: 7
  • Read/Write: 13
  • Kinesthetic: 3

You have a strong Read/Write learning preference.

Not a surprise at ALL!

Let me know if you try it.

For comparison, I had Girl try it -

Your scores were:

  • Visual: 2
  • Aural: 10
  • Read/Write: 3
  • Kinesthetic: 5

hmm, so our discussions are worthwhile.

    Hmmm … not what I would’ve expected –

    Your scores were:

    * Visual: 4
    * Aural: 2
    * Read/Write: 3
    * Kinesthetic: 7

    You have a mild Kinesthetic learning preference

    I do the VARK with my University 101 students. I do it so they’ll have a neat little understanding of how they learn, but also because it helps them understand why they sometimes have a disconnnect with their profs. Most of their profs tend to have extremely high Read/Write numbers, whereas they’re all over the place, usually multimodal. We talk about “translating” the lectures from Read/Write people into these other modes. It’s kind of neat, actually.

    Me? LOL:
    Visual: 0
    Aural: 0
    Read/Write: 16
    Kinesthetic: 0
