Learning Style Questionnaire



I have created an online version of a questionnaire that I completed once during my CELTA course. There are 33 statements that have to be scored in order to find out what kind of learner you are. I want to do the questionnaire with my students and then, based on the results, design the lessons better.

The Learning Styles questionnaire was inspired by those in Reid, 1995. I did the questionnaire and I got 44 points for visual learner, 38 points for kinaesthetic learner and just 29 points for auditory learner, which means my dominant learning style is visual.

I suppose most of the learners are visual learners; if you do the questionnaire then please let a comment with your score. I am very curious to see what are others result.

Your highest score indicates which your strongest learning style is, your lowest score shows your weakest. There is no right, or perfect, learning style. Everyone is a mixture of all three learning styles, but most people may have one learning style that is  dominant. A score of more than 40 indicates a particularly strong style; a score of under 20 indicates a quite weak style.
