I have a very strong Visual learning preference.

I have a very strong Visual, single preference for learning. The gap between my Visual score of 9 and my next highest score of 3 for
Aural is large enough to indicate that, while I am quite capable of learning using each of these four VARK modes, the Visual mode is
my first preference. This means that I usually begin with the Visual representations of learning and that I use those
Visual strategies more often, as this profile will explain.

MY LEARNING PROFILE
I should remember that information does not normally come packaged in a single mode - life is multimodal. When I am faced with a
learning situation that requires Aural or Read/Write or Kinesthetic skills I will probably translate those into your Visual mode.
Information in higher education seldom comes in a Visual format so translating has to become a habit. I am not as flexible as many
others and I might prefer to use one particular mode for certain things that "you think" need to be conveyed that way. If I rely too
much on your Visual mode my learning may suffer but it can be made stronger.

I am less flexible in the way that I receive information from others and I probably switch to accommodate the way that they are
presenting to me. If someone emails or phones me, my Aural score of 3 means that I place some importance on what is said and
what I say. So self-talk, lectures, discussions, debates, meetings and recitation are somewhat secondary but still useful Aural learning
strategies for me. My Read/write score is 2 and that may be helpful in academic learning so if somebody wants to give me some print
sources about a new concept (Read/write) I am willing to use those as well.
