VARK Questionnaire

VARK Questionnaire

My Scores:

V = 5 V = Visual

A = 3 A = Aural

R = 6 R = Read / Write

K = 4 K = Kinesthetic

The VARK Questionnaire asks a series of questions to evaluate what type of learner you are.

My results from the questionnaire reflect that there are elements from all aspects of learning that help me. I feel I try to understand the importance of all of them.

I am not surprised that I scored highest on Read/Write and Visual. I favour the process of repetition while I’m learning. I feel when I write things down over and over I take in more than when I am just listening to someone.

Often I have made decisions based on writing out the Pro’s and Con’s. Some of the bad decisions I have made in my life I made sporadically and without enough thought and clarity, which I feel visualising the problems gives me.

I would say that I am a little surprised from the test’s findings that I didn’t score higher in Kinesthetic. I find physical and practical involvement very important. Specifically in Computing the process of re-applying the methods is essential to learning for me.

My Scores in Aural were my lowest in the test. I guess I can see this to be true. I understand it to be the “listening” element. At times I have a short attention span and my tendency to write everything down often distracts me from giving my complete attention.

I feel I could try to improve on this by trying to listen wholly in lectures writing down key points. Take it in and try to comprehend it rather than trying to write down everything that is said so that I have it for later.
