learning-styles-online.com offers a free learning styles assessment and displays your results in a graphical form. Learning styles are broken out into 7 categories... see image below for a list and click here for a description of each.
Looking at the image above it looks like I am strong in all but one of the learning styles, aural. From my undergraduate experience in engineering I could agree with this... as the lecture method did quite often put me to sleep... Having said this I do have some questions.
The breakout of learning styles into seven styles is a bit odd to me as it doesn't fit with my original understanding of how people take in new information i.e. visually, kinaesthetic or auditory. Where is the research/references to justify their model? The website offers no academic explanation nor is it endorsed by any reputable association such as the Association for Talent Development.
While I appreciate the graphical representation I am forced to take the results with a grain of salt until my questions are answered. How about you?
