However, you calculate the totals, ensure you use the chosen method consistently
throughout the questionnaire. The total scores for each style indicate your relative
preferred learning style or styles. There are no right or wrong answers. Some people
have very strong preferences, even to the extent that they have little or no preference
in one or two of the styles. Other people have more evenly balanced preferences, with
no particularly strong style. The point is simply to try to understand as much as you
can about yourself and your strengths (your preferred style or styles), and then make
best use of learning methods which suit your strengths (your preferred style or styles).
