Know Your Learning Style

By uncovering your learning style, you can maximize your ability to learn and excel, to get the most out of
study time.

It is hoped that this checklist will be fun to do and will help you discover your learning style. This is not a test –
it’s just for your own information – it’s all about how we learn and why it is really great to know our own
preferences; each one of us is unique and our preferences help us understand our special ways of learning and
knowing.

Tick any items that seem to apply to you. You may tick as many as you like. Please have a good time and
enjoy yourself!
