Personal Learning Profile Report
The VARK questionnaire provides four scores and the various combinations of those scores are huge in number. You can order a report based on your specialized profile. Every attempt is made to personalize the report so that it addresses the meanings from your learning preferences in a unique way.





I am identified as a multimodal learner, I agree with this in a sense because various situations require various learning styles. In training to be a maintainence technician, the majority of the time I will be taught visually and aurally. While in class, I feel I like to read and write to gain knowledge, and if needed, reread the work. Although I do need to learn visually at work, I can agree with the questionnaire in that I can find it difficult to learn from just visual aids, hopefully to improve my visual learning, I can just take note of more key features visually and remember the features.

Learning Line

So this is my learning line, I found it enjoyable constructing a timeline of [mainly] my education, I can reflect on the times where I felt interested in what I was doing and the times where I did not so much, I guess my intention now is to keep the learning line in the high interest section.
