Learning Styles Quiz: What Type of Learner Are You?

October 26, 2021 by Jenna

Are you interested in finding out what type of learner you or your student is? This learning style quiz will give a basic assessment of how the participant learns best. Knowing your learning style can be helpful as you make choices regarding your or your student’s education or study habits. Choose the types of activities and study approaches to which you or your student respond well to find out your preferred learning styles. The results may show that multiple learning styles work well, and that’s ok! Most people have more than one learning strategy that suits them.

If you’re taking this quiz for yourself, mark the bubble that most accurately describes your preference and submit your answers. If you give this learning styles assessment to students, you can let them read and complete the quiz on their own or read the questions aloud and record their responses.

Finding Your Learning Styles

Of the 7 types of learning styles—visual, auditory, kinesthetic, verbal, logical, social, and solitary—several may apply to you. Choose learning approaches and study tips that cover all the learning styles that describe you.

But remember, even if you lean toward one learning style over another, you don’t just choose activities and study approaches that only works for that style. Instead, try to use learning tips that you’re comfortable with from each of the 7 learning styles. Your results will show you the types of learning that will feel easy for you and show you the kinds of styles that might be a barrier for learning.

    This was a pretty accurate test, I scored an 80 in Logical Thinking and that seems right because I keep all of my notes and any written work very organized with colors and titles and everything else.
