VARK Questionnaire

After taking the VARK Questionnaire my results are as follows:

V's = 7
A's = 5
R's = 12
K's = 6

I wasn't too surprised by this because I am a read/write person, I prefer to write things down and read notes when trying to learn something. Having said that however, my results do show that I am quite a visual person, and this is also quite true as when I read text, I tend to find it easier to understand if there are graphs and charts to represent the data. Pie charts for example are, in my opinion, the easiest methods to take in information, they are easy to read and the image they produce sticks out in your mind and makes it easier to remember.

For the Myers Briggs Type Indicator I finished with the letters ISTJ, I am quite an introverted person so I think it does reflect my personality in that respect. Although the accuracy of both is questionable, they are seen as just a model and I think they do give a correct indication of how you learn best and your personality.
