Research has shown that the more we become aware of our own learning styles, the better we learn.

 

We  searched  some  inventories  that  can  describe  your Learning  Style   with an online  report.These web sites are offered in that spirit, but we cannot account  for their validity.  We recommend that any "profiles" offered should be taken to a professional academic counselor for validation.

DVC Learning Style Survey for College  has a good introduction, four categories of styles (visual/verbal; visual nonverbal; tactile/kinesthetic; auditory/verbal), and a self-assessment web-based tool.  Results/scores are based upon 32 questions.http://www.metamath.com/lsweb/dvclearn.htm

 

Index of Learning Styles Questionnaire: (Felder/Silverman) introduction, learning preferences on four dimensions (active/reflective, sensing/intuitive, visual/verbal, and sequential/global); and a self-assessment instrument self-scored.  Results/scores are based upon 44 questions.
