Learning+Styles+Self-Assessment

=What's Your Learning Style?= Some people learn better when they hear things. Other, when they see things. There are many different learning styles. In this activity, you'll take an online quiz, evaluate your answers, and then discuss them with others.

Assignment
First, go to the following website to take your online quiz: Learning Styles Questionnaire. Answer the questions and click submit to view your results. When the results appear, you should probably print them to make it easier to read the other pages where you interpret them (or open other pages in a new browser window).

The results appear as four bars that look like this:
 * V || I || S ||  ||   ||   ||   || X ||   || V || R || B ||
 * 11 || 9 || 7 || 5 || 3 || 1 || 1 || 3 || 5 || 7 || 9 || 11 ||

The abbreviations (VIS and VRB in this sample) stand for categories that you'll read about in the explanation. The X is over the number on the chart that represents your score. In this example, the person scored 5 on the VRB side. Under the chart, it tells you what each number means.

Scroll down below the chart and you'll find a couple links. Click on "Learning Style Descriptions". The section headings in all caps correspond to the abbreviations in each chart. For example, you'll find that VIS and VRB stand for "Visual" and "Verbal" learning styles. Read over the descriptions and look at your scores to determine your learning style. Also read about how you can compensate in certain types of classes.

Once you've interpreted your results, decide whether or not you agree with them and what suggestions you find to be the most helpful. Be sure to give a summary of what the test said for each of the four categories, or bars in the results area, **and your analysis of whether or not the result is correct.**
