VARK Questionnaire

What type of learner were you identified as? - Kinesthetic

Does this surprise you? - Not at all, because my best way of learning has always been in a practical manner. When having to learn how to use certain software or ASP for my A Level course, I found the best way was to play around until I got the hang of it.

Which style of learning is your least favourite? What techniques could you practice to help to enhance this learning style? - My least favourite learning style is Reading.I cant stand reading and I have a very short attention span when it comes to books. I might be able to help this by reading in small chunks - have a break - and then read a bit more.
