By scoring myself using the VARK questionnaire I recieved the following results:
Visual - 5
Aural - 4
Read/Write - 4
Kinethetic - 6
The close results show me that I have a Multimodal learning style in the favour of Kinesthetic. This highlights the fact that I can learn in numerous ways. This surprises me as I thought myself to be a visual learner rather than all types because I find diagrams and pictures much easier to understand rather than a large section of text. I thought aural would be my second preference as hearing someone talking seems to break the understanding down for me and allows me to form the words in my head. I thought I was a read/write learner least as I feel the need to re-read the sentence sometimes to completely understand. Being a kinesthetic learner pleases me as I do enjoy being involved and makes the subject content seem more alive.
Overall, being a multimodal style learner excites me and makes me feel more relaxed about the different teaching styles different tutors have.
This is the ideal learning style - the best of all worlds!
