VARK Questionnaire

Posted by simonlenton on Tuesday, 6 October 2009

The VARK questionnaire is a method of evaluating which type of learner you are. According to the answers I gave in my VARK questionnaire I am a kinaesthetic learner, and I can see how this reflects my learning style.


I am a very hands on person, and commit things to memory in a very physical/ spacial way. For example, when committing the list of things that are dying out to memory in our lecture today, I imagined myself walking into my house and being confronted with each thing on the list. I started in my porch looking at honey bees on the flowers there, and the lamp with an incandescent bulb on the same table. I walked past my sisters room and saw her covered in measles, because she was ill she was watching her analogue TV. I passed into the kitchen to find a handwritten note explaining why my mum wasn't home, with nothing else to do I wander up to my bedroom and head to facebook.com only to find that it loads slowly because I'm on dial-up.

I scored poorly in all other areas (Visual, Audio and Reading/Writing) but I don't see this as a negative as it means I learn things on a deep level as they mean more to me as I have a physical experience with the content. However, I can see how improving my visual skill (mind-maps and images) would help my learning as mind-mapping texts will help me move the text into a more visual/ physical way.
