How the Scales are Structured

example score

7/16

Kinesthetic (K)

Measures how strongly you tend to learn through hands-on action, movement, and tactile engagement with material.

Low

Moderate

High

0 – 5: Low | 6 – 11: Moderate | 12 – 16: High

A score of 7 falls in the Moderate range, suggesting you benefit from some hands-on practice and movement, though it may not be your primary way of learning.

example score

9/16

Auditory (A)

Measures how strongly you prefer learning and remembering information through hearing and spoken explanations.

Low auditory preference

Moderate auditory preference

High auditory preference

0 – 5: Low auditory preference | 6 – 11: Moderate auditory preference | 12 – 16: High auditory preference

A score of 9 indicates a moderate auditory preference, meaning spoken explanations and discussion may support learning but are not your only effective channel.

example score

10/16

A: Visual (AV)

Measures how strongly you tend to take in and remember information through visual input such as text, images, and diagrams.

Low visual

Moderate visual

High visual

0 – 5: Low visual | 6 – 11: Moderate visual | 12 – 16: High visual

A score of 10 falls in the Moderate visual range, suggesting visual materials often help you learn but may work best alongside other methods.

CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Any questions left?

What does this test measure?

It estimates which perception channel is used most when learning: auditory, visual, or kinesthetic. Results indicate a dominant pattern and common secondary tendencies.

How long does it take and how many questions are included?

Estimated completion time is about 3 minutes. The test includes 16 questions.

What types of tasks are included?

Items assess how information is noticed, remembered, and processed through listening, viewing, or hands-on activity. Responses are used to identify the strongest channel.

How should results be used?

Results can guide selection of study methods that match the dominant channel, such as listening, visual materials, or practice and note-taking. They may also explain why some learning methods feel less effective.

Is this a clinical diagnosis?

No. It is an educational screening tool and does not diagnose disorders or replace professional evaluation.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Perceptual Style Assessment Test

representational system

This brief self-report measure is designed to identify preferred perceptual modalities relevant to learning and information processing. The Perceptual Style Assessment asks respondents to indicate how they typically take in and work with new information.

The instrument includes 16 items and typically requires about 3 minutes to complete. Items are intended to sample tendencies toward visual, auditory, and kinesthetic approaches (e.g., learning through reading/seeing, listening, or hands-on activity). Results may be used to guide discussion of study habits and instructional strategies and should be interpreted as descriptive preferences rather than diagnostic findings. The Perceptual Style Assessment is attributed to Kincher, Jonni.
