Finally, some fun stuff. Would you try at least one or two of these questionnaires for the next class? A few sites have a page to print out at the end for more detailed info on the profile the answers suggested. I don’t remember which sites offer that service, if you use one that does would you reply to this post and let us know which one did?

A university-based Learning Styles Inventory. Here’s another from another university.

Abiator’s Learning Styles Inventories (with two options in the left column, and an assessment for multiple intelligences). By the way, learning styles are still under scientific debate. You’ll see that if you find some websites that say there are 5 learning styles, and others that say there are 7.

Free learning styles inventory but be brave, it has 70 questions(!) The side menu has more information on learning styles, if you’re curious.

Curious about learning styles? 60-second lecture on learning styles from the Academic Success Center at University of South Carolina (USA) . Transcript for those not familar with a Southern American accent: go to the home page and click on ‘Learning styles handout’ for the PDF file.

The VARK Questionnaire to discover your learning style; incidentally a version for people aged 12-18 if you know a young curious anglophone

Are you more left-brain or right-brain? Check with either this university’s Brain Hemisphere Dominance Test or try this one: Brain Hemisphere Dominance Test. Here’s another one, but I haven’t tried it.

By the way, I tried these tests at one time or another, some months ago, some years ago. Occasionally a test gets so popular that the website starts to charge people to get their results, with no warning before you take the test. For example, two years ago my students told me this very good Learning Styles test now charges people to get their results. It’s rather frustating. Would you reply here if you are asked to pay anything, or if it asks for your personal information? Then I will remove it from my list. There are so many free and anonymous tests out there for these subjects, if you’re asked to pay, don’t! (Unless you want to, of course.)
