How are results reported?
Results combine perception style with hemispheric preference to indicate a primary learning channel. The report is intended to guide selection of study methods and formats.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment

Preferred Learning Style Test

laterality

This brief self-report measure is designed to identify an individual’s perceived preferences for taking in and working with new information. Preferred Learning Style is typically used in educational and coaching contexts to support discussion of study habits, instructional fit, and approaches to skill acquisition.

The questionnaire includes 17 items and generally takes about 4 minutes to complete. Responses are used to summarize preferred modalities (e.g., visual, auditory, kinesthetic) and related learning tendencies, which may inform individualized strategies for presenting material and planning practice.

Results from Preferred Learning Style should be interpreted as descriptive preferences rather than indicators of ability or a diagnostic classification. Findings are best integrated with observed performance, contextual factors, and the demands of the learning task when making educational recommendations.
