LEARNING STYLES INVENTORY

Visual
• Visual learners prefer the use of images, maps, and graphic organizers to access
and understand new information.
Auditory
• Auditory learners best understand new content through listening and speaking in
situations such as lectures and group discussions. Aural learners use repetition as a study
technique and benefit from the use of mnemonic devices.
Kinesthetic
• Students who are kinesthetic learners best understand information through tactile
representations of information. These students are hands-on learners and learn best through
figuring things out by hand (i.e. understanding how a clock works by putting one together.)

SCORING YOUR INVENTORY

Tally your responses by adding up only the YES answers. Put the number of the question in
the appropriate box. For example, if you answered questions number 9 with a yes, write 9 in
the VISUAL box. If you answered number 11 with a yes, write number 11 in the AUDITORY
box. If you answered number 7 with a yes, write 7 in the KINESTHETIC box. Add up the
number of questions in each box and write a total for each one. This will determine your
preferred learning style. Don’t worry if a dominant mode doesn’t emerge. You’re a versatile
learner! Use the knowledge you gain to create excellent study tools, the ones that are right
for you. Chart your answers below.

Visual Style: Questions 1, 4, 9, 10, 13, 16, 19, 24, 25, 28

AuditoryStyle: Questions 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 18, 20, 23, 26, 29
Kinesthetic Style: Questions 3, 6, 7, 12, 15, 17, 21, 22, 27, 30

Total: 9/10 Total: 5/10 Total:6/10

The highest score indicates your preferred learning style. If you have a high score in more
than one area, you’re using additional modalities. Remember that there are no wrong
answers to this inventory. Everyone is an individual and has her own style of learning.

Characteristics of Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic Modes

• Visual learners need to see information. If your preferred style is visual, you have
strong visualization skills and can remember objects, shapes, and pictures. You
learn by reading, and by watching films, videos, and demonstrations. You can see
pictures in your mind.

• Auditory learners need to hear information. If your preferred style is auditory, you
have a “good ear” and can hear differences in tones and rhythm. Reading out loud
will be beneficial. You can remember what you hear in a lecture.

• Kinesthetic learners need to be physically active and doing things. If your preferred
style is kinesthetic, you are a hands-on learner. You have good coordination and
learn by doing. You generally have an active approach to learning.
Using Multi-Sensory Learning

Now that you know your learning style(s), you have an idea of the important role your
senses play in the learning process. The best strategy is to combine modalities whenever
possible. Incorporate visual, kinesthetic, and auditory learning into your study plan. Using
combinations will strengthen your ability to retain information. Be creative. Add your own
ideas. Here are some strategies:

Visual learners:
• Create mind maps, flow charts, and diagrams using bright colors. Put them where
you can view them frequently.
• Practice building your visual memory.
• Rewrite your notes using different colors.

Auditory learners:
• After you read a page in your textbook, summarize the information out loud in your
own words.
• Tape your instructor’s lecture, and if you are a commuter, listen to the tape on the
way home, either in your car, or on the bus or subway.
• Discuss the material that you have been learning with a friend or study group.

Kinesthetic learners
• Use your hands. Cut up charts and diagrams. Create flash cards and move them
around with large, sweeping movements.
• Walk and talk the information. Recite as you move.
• Type on a computer keyboard. You are using your muscle memory.

Developing Your Style: Combining Visual, Auditory, &

Kinesthetic Modes
Additional ways you can use multi-sensory learning:

• Use background music (no lyrics to distract you) when you study. Choose a piece of
music for a particular subject. Every time you study that subject, play the music. You
are creating an association for your subconscious mind. You may be surprised to
discover how much of the information you remember when you play the music by
itself. You are combining Visual and Auditory modes.
• Use rap or rhyme to memorize information. To add Kinesthetic to this Auditory mode,
walk, dance, or clap when you sing.
• If you are athletically inclined, dribble a basketball while you recite information. You
are combining Auditory and Kinesthetic modes.
• Study with a partner or in a group. Discuss the information. Hold up flash cards
diagrams, hierarchies, and mind maps to test each other. This combines Visual and
Auditory modes.
• Put yourself in the picture. You can do this with a subject like history; participate in a
battle or a significant meeting such as the signing of the Declaration of
Independence. Ask yourself how you feel. This combines Visual and Kinesthetic
modes.
• Make up your own strategies. Incorporate multi-sensory learning into your studies.

Additional Strategies:
 • If you are learning a new vocabulary word or math formula, write it in the air using
large, sweeping movements. Close your eyes and see it in your mind’s eye. Say the
words out loud. You are combining V, A, and K modes.
• Use the sense of smell. One student created olfactory (smell) associations by using
scented pencils for studying. He used a grape pencil for one subject and a chocolate
one for another. When taking an exam, he used the appropriate pencil to help him
recall information. He combined V and K and added an additional sensory mode.
• Use 5- by 7-inch flash cards to self-quiz. Use different and bright colors for each
side. Lay them on a desk or table. Move them around and put them in different
places as you study, or create a game with them. Place them into different
categories in a hierarchical fashion such as “don’t know,” “review,” and “need to study
more.”
• Create your own auditory notes using a tape recorder.

My Personal Learning Style Plan:

Choose for the suggestions listed above 4-5 techniques you will try this quarter as you study
for classes. List them here as an action plan detailing how you will incorporate multi-sensory
learning into your study time.

 I will create my own mind mapping with fancy and colourful note for me to more
understand.
 I will make my own strategies to study such as watching videos with high resolution
images for more understanding and more focus in the class instead of just listening to
the lecturer.
 For mathematics subject, I will do quizzes and practises.
 Do revising with friends and study together.
 I will picture the subject that I studied for more understanding and ask myself the
question that I want the answer.

GOAL STATEMENT- THE FIVE STEPS APPROACH

What are goals?

A goal is an idea of the future or desired result that a person or a group of people envision,
plan, and commit to achieve. Goals represent the decisions we make and the commitments
we take to reach attainment, break some bad habits, adopt useful habits or achieve more in
different areas of life. Goals enable us to achieve focus in life by helping us to determine
what we want. They keep us motivated and propelled, constantly putting us in state ofaction.

NOTE TAKING STRATEGIES
Effective note-taking is crucial for retaining and understanding information. Here are some
note-taking strategies:

Outline Method:
Use a hierarchical structure with main topics and subtopics.
Organize information in a systematic and easy-to-follow manner.

Cornell Method:
Divide your paper into three sections: a narrow-left column, a wider right column, and a
section at the bottom.
Use the left column for cues or questions, the right for key points, and the bottom for a
summary.

Mind Mapping:
Create a visual representation of information using branches and nodes.
Helps to see connections between ideas and concepts.

Sentence Method:
Write complete sentences summarizing key points.
Useful for linear and narrative information.

Charting Method:
Create tables or charts to organize information.
Useful for comparing details.

Mapping Method:
Use spatial relationships to represent information.
Effective for concepts that have a physical or geographical aspect.

Highlighting and Underlining:

Emphasize important words or phrases.
Use colors or symbols to categorize information.

Digital Note-Taking:
Utilize note-taking apps or software for organization and accessibility.
Allows for easy editing, sharing, and syncing across devices.

Post-It Method:
Use sticky notes to jot down quick thoughts or ideas.
Easy to rearrange and organize.

Time-Stamped Notes:
Include timestamps for key points during lectures or discussions.
Helps when reviewing later to understand the context.

Choose the method that aligns with your learning style and the nature of the information you
are capturing. Remember to review and revise your notes regularly for better retention.
