Prior to attending Baruch, I had never heard of a Vark questionnaire before or “Vark quiz” for short. I was surprised that this sort of resource even existed. After hearing others discuss about it, I figured I would give the quiz a go and see what it was all about. I was completely under the impression that it would be a much more complex and serious quiz, but it was fairly short and sweet. The questionnaire provided scenarios in which, you had to choose the answer that best suited you. For the majority of the questions I selected 2 out of four of the choices provided. This let me know that I learn in more than just one way. I feel as though I’ve always been able to learn more visually as well as by carrying out physical activities myself, rather than solely listening to one speak. After the quiz, I found that my results confirmed what I had already presumed.

The following are my scores:

Visual: eight        Aural: seven   read/write: seven     Kinesthetic: ten                      

Both visual (eight) and kinesthetic (ten) were the highest scores out of the four. Based on the results, I found out that the way I learn through reading and writing and how I learn by hearing are both on the same level, as I scored a seven for each. I don’t necessarily think this quiz was a waste of time. I think it can be useful, especially  to those who want to discover which different ways of learning best works to their abilities. I also think that it is very important to understand how you learn, so that you can use that to your advantage academically. If I had known there were academic resources like the Vark quiz and more before, I would have probably taken it in high school.
