8 I can easily understand and follow directions on a map.           0-24 May be a difficult learning style
9 I play with coins or keys in my pocket.          
10 I think the best way to remember something is to picture it in your head.           Visual Major Learning Style Preference
11 When I study alone, I remember things better.           You learn well from seeing words. You remember and understand information and instructions better if you read them. You don't need as much oral explanation as an auditory learner, and you can often learn alone, with a book. You should take notes of lectures and oral directions if you want to remember the information.
12 I enjoy working with my hands or making things.          
13 I prefer to use posters, models, or actual practice and other activities in class.          
14 I can remember best about a subject by listening to a lecture that includes information, explanations and discussion.          
Auditory Major Learning Style Preference
15 When I work alone, I learn better.           You learn from hearing words spoken and from oral explanations. You may remember information by reading aloud or moving your lips as you read, especially when you are learning new material. You benefit from hearing audio tapes, lectures, and class discussions. You benefit from making tapes to listen to, by teaching other students, and by conversing with your teacher.
16 I would rather listen to a good lecture or speech than read about the same material in a textbook.          
17 I enjoy working on an assignment with two or three classmates.           
18 I feel very comfortable touching others, hugging, handshaking, etc.           Kinesthetic Major Learning Style Preference
19 I prefer to study with others.           You learn best when you are working on experiments in a laboratory, handling and building models, and touching and working with materials. Writing notes or instructions can help you remember information, and physical involvement in class related activities may help you understand new information.  You also learn best by being involved physically in classroom experiences. You remember information well when you actively participate in activities, field trips, and role-playing in the classroom.  A combination of stimuli--for example, an audiotape combined with an activity--will help you understand new material.
20 I like to write things down or to take notes for visual review.          
21 I can remember best by writing things down several times.          
22 In class, I work better when I work alone.          
23 I prefer working on projects by myself.          
24 I can understand a news article better by reading about it in the newspaper than by listening to a report about it on the radio.           Individual Major Learning Style Preference
You learn best when you work alone. You think better when you study alone, and you remember information you learn by yourself. You understand new material best when you learn it alone, and you make better progress in learning when you work by yourself.
25 I prefer to work by myself.          
Group Major Learning Style Preference
You learn more easily when you study with at least one other student, and you will be more successful completing work well when you work with others. You value group interaction and class work with other students, and you remember information better when you work with two or three classmates. The stimulation you receive from group work helps you learn and understand new information.
