The VARK Questionnaire Results

Vark Questionnaire Results

Your scores
were:

  • Visual: 11

  • Aural: 11

  • Read/Write: 8

  • Kinesthetic: 14

You have a multimodal () learning preference.

Multimodal Study Strategies


If you have multiple preferences
you are in the majority as approximately 60% of any
population fits that category.


Multiple preferences are
interesting varied. For example you may have two strong preferences
V and A or R and K, or you may have three strong preferences such as VAR or
ARK. Some people have no particular strong preferences and their scores are
almost even for all four modes. For example one person had scores of V=6, A=6,
R=6, and K=6. She said that she
adapted to the mode being used or requested. If the teacher or supervisor preferred
a written mode she switched into that mode for her responses and for her learning.


So multiple preferences
give you choices of two or three or four modes to use for your interaction with
others. Positive
reactions mean that those with multimodal preferences choose to match or align
their mode to the significant others around them. But, some people have admitted that if they want to be annoying they may stay
in a mode different from the person with whom they are working. For example
they may ask for written evidence in an argument, knowing that the other person
much prefers to refer only to oral information.


If you have two almost equal preferences please read the study strategies that apply to your two
choices. If you have three preferences read the three lists that apply and similarly
for those with four. You will need to read two or three or four lists of strategies.
One interesting piece of information that people with multimodal preferences
have told us is that it is necessary for them to use more than one strategy
for learning and communicating. They feel insecure with only one. Alternatively
those with a single preference often "get it" by using the set of
strategies that align with their single preference.


We are noticing some differences among those who are multimodal especially those who have chosen fewer than 25 options and those who have chosen more than 30. If you have chosen fewer than 25 of the options in the questionnaire you may prefer to see your highest score as your main preference - almost like a single preference.

I would have said that you have a kinesthetic way of learning - 14 points stands out from the other scores.
