Perceptual Style Assessment Test - Symptoms and Signs
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.
