Learning Style Survey Assessing Your Own Learning Style Andrew D. Cohen, Rebecca L. Oxford, and Julie C. Chi The Learning Style Survey is designed to assess your general approach to learning. It does not predict your behavior in every instance, but it is a clear indication of your overall style preferences. For each item, circle the response that represents your approach. Complete all items. There are eleven major activities representing twelve different aspects of your learning style. When you read the statements, try to think about what you generally do when learning. It generally takes about 30 minutes to complete the survey. Do not spend too much time on any item – indicate your immediate feeling and move on to the next item. For each item, circle your response: 0=Never 1=Rarely 2=Sometimes 3=Often 4=Always Part 1: HOW I USE MY PHYSICAL SENSES_______________________________________ I remember something better if I write it down0 1 2 3 4 I take detailed notes during lectures.0 1 2 3 4 When I listen, I visualize pictures, numbers, or words in my head.0 1 2 3 4 I prefer to learn with TV or video rather than other media.0 1 2 3 4 I use color-coding to help me as I learn or work.0 1 2 3 4 I need written directions for tasks.0 1 2 3 4 I have to look at people to understand what they say.0 1 2 3 4 I understand lectures better when professors write on the board.0 1 2 3 4 Charts, diagrams and maps help me understand what someone say.0 1 2 3 4 I remember peoples’ faces but not their names.0 1 2 3 4A – Total_______ I remember things better if I discuss them with someone.0 1 2 3 4 I prefer to learn by listening to a lecture rather than reading.0 1 2 3 4 I need oral directions for a task.0 1 2 3 4 Background sound helps me think.0 1 2 3 4 I like to listen to music when I study or work.0 1 2 3 4 I can understand what people say even when I cannot see them.0 1 2 3 4 I remember peoples’ names but not their faces.0 1 2 3 4 I easily remember jokes that I hear
