VARK Questionnaire

A VARK Questionnaire consists of a variety of questions that is aimed at people in order to justify their learning preferences. The purpose is to identify the way in which information is processed and provided. As part of my module, I undertook the VARK questionnaire in order to see what my type of learning style is. The types of learning styles are identified in the "VARK"; which consists of:
  • Visual 
  • Auditory
  • Read / Write
  • Kinesthetic
Upon completing the questionnaire, which consists of a multiple choice range that suits my methods of how I learn; a scoring chart is used to take in the answers I provided that corresponds to the scoring chart. These are the results:

V - 4
A - 3
R - 1
K - 8

From the results shown above I am a "kinesthetic" learner, which means I prefer to do hands-on learning and learn easier from "hands-on" exercises in order to boost my knowledge. I was not surprised about these results as I was aware that I best learn by actually carrying out the exercise required. Close up was my visual aspect of learning, which I feel I can improve if I do carefully monitor and concentrate properly; my least favorite learning style is reading, this takes time for me to learn properly and I sometimes do not fully understand the tasks set out for me; which is why I scored low on the questionnaire.
