Learning Style Assessment

This Learning Style Assessment was developed by Reed Mencke Ph.D. and Stacey Hartman M.A. to assist college students in the development of effective study strategies.

To better understand your preferences as a learner, take a few minutes to answer the following questions.

Please read the questions carefully and place a check on the appropriate bubble after each statement. When you are finished and satisfied with your responses, press the SUBMIT button to have your questionnaire assessed.

You may press the RESET button at any time and re-start the questionnaire.

A diagnostic of your answers will be displayed shortly after. This assessment is anonymous, so we strongly suggest that you print the results immediately, particularly if a visit to an academic counselor is suggested.
