Post 2- The VARK Questionnaire Results

Having done the VARK Questionnaire, it showed that I prefer aural learning.


I didn't really know what it meant by I was a "aural learner", therefore looked into it and the website gave me the following information. 


Under 'Key Words' it states 'listening', 'discussing', 'talking', 'questioning' and 'recalling'. These words indeed do link in with how I learn things. I prefer to listen to people talk, and discuss things with me, rather than reading a whole bulk of information. 

It also provides what procedures I should take as I am an aural learner. Out of the 9 'Intake' suggestions below, it has proven that I need to open up from my own shelter and try and attend group discussions. Suggestions such as attend classes, using interesting examples to memorise things, and techniques in taking down notes are the ones I have been doing, but attending discussions is my main weakness. I will need to work on that. 




As my goal is to be able to write a short self introduction about myself in Chinese, and it has been said that I am a aural learner, it may suggest that I should read my own writing as I write my paragraph. After having done this questionnaire, it has allowed me to think what type of a learner am I. I hadn't thought about this question till I completed the questionnaire. The results can be thought as accurate, as my highest 11 was aural, and lowest 5 which was read/write.
