VARK Questionnaire results and reflection

VARK questionnaire provided me with an indication of my preferences to learning .

My Results: Visual:2, Aural:3, Read/Write:2, Kinesthetic:9.

This shows that i have a kinesthetic learning preference, Kinesthetic learning is a teaching and learning style in which learning takes place by actually carrying out an activity, rather than listening to a lecture or watching a demonstration, people with this predominant learning style are thought to be natural discovery learners; they have realizations through doing, as opposed to having thought first before initiating action.


It is said that the kinesthetic learner usually does well in things such as chemistry experiments, sporting activities, and acting. They also may listen to music while learning or studying. It is common for kinesthetic learners to focus on two different things at the same time. They will remember things by going back in their minds to what their body was doing. They also have very high hand-eye coordination and very quick receptors.

Overall, I'd agree with the varied learning style result I got, I think it is farely acurate as i have often listened to music while studying or I tend to be doing 2 things at once most of the time.  For improving my learning I don't think I need to change too much, Reading/Writing and Visual is the lowest score from my questionnaire but all methods are needed to be a kinesthetic learner, therefore i think it a necessary part of  my life and work that i carry on as i am as i will eventually improve with everything i do, continuing using all 4 methods will help improve my intake and output as a kinesthetic learner but in doing this will also improve the other 3 methods.

  1. I am always amazed when people say that they can listen to music and work at the same time! Good that you have a varied learning style - you are very lucky!
