However, as you calculate the totals, ensure you use the chosen method
consistently throughout the questionnaire. The total scores for each style indicate
your relative preferred learning style or styles. There is no right or wrong answers.
Some people have very strong preferences, even to the extent that they have little
or no preference in one or two of the styles. Other people have more evenly
balanced preferences, with no particularly strong style. The point is simply to try
to understand as much as you can about yourself and your strengths (your
preferred style or styles), and then make best use of learning methods which suit
your strengths (your preferred style or styles).
