My VARK quetionnaire Score.

My VARK score was:
  1. Total number of Vs = 9
  2. Total number of As = 8
  3. Total number of Rs = 6
  4. Total number of Ks = 5
I was not surprised at all by the above results because I learn quicker through watching videos  and listening to tapes and tutorials. I also use my hands a lot when I am explaining things or putting a point across. Over the years I have discovered that I learn better when I draw some illustrations to simplify whatever I want to learn, especially long processes that follow a certain procedure.
Reading is not one of preferred learning methods and my results clearly show that. I found the questionnaire to be a useful tool because it highlights my areas of strength and areas where I need development.
