Prior to taking it, I had never heard of the V.A.R.K. Questionnaire. Upon completing it and eventually looking up the meaning of my results, I realized that the entire point is recognizing “the way I learn best” through my answers rather than my numerical score. (I’m assuming participants in a discussion use the actual numbers.) Reviewing my choices, I noticed how I preferred learning with the use of visuals and if possible a step by step narrative. I began to notice how with those methods I tend to understand information presented to me quickly and easily. In other words I will be less likely to reread something or ask for more explanation. I think that it’s important I am aware of this in order to take  advantage of more resources and save time through the course of my studies. Whether or not I am able to reciprocate my methods of learning to others in terms how I give out information I am not so sure. I  think I rely on those methods when explaining something because I trust their effectiveness more than a thorough worded explanation, however I do  need to brush up my skills. Overall, I plan to take advantage of the way(s) I learn best and hope to  see fruitful results in my studies and future.
