According to Contra Costa Community College District, each student has his/her own learning style: audio, visual, or tactile/kinesthetic. At their Diablo Valley College, they have a Learning Styles Survey in their disabled student services website.
They state its purpose is simply to let you know what your best learning style is.
They state that a learning style does not indicate a disability.
What do you think? Does a learning style indicate a disability?
Take their Learning Styles Survey for yourself at www.dvc.edu/dss
At the website, click on Learning Styles Survey.
OR
Just click this shortcut >>>
www.metamath.com/multiple/multiple_choice_questions.cgi
Answer the 32 questions, then press “Submit your answers”.
The computer software will then give you a raw score of your visual/verbal, visual/nonverbal, auditory, and kinesthetic. Then it will predict what your best learning style is.
Tell me what you think.
My raw score was visual/nonverbal - 26, visual/verbal - 20, auditory - 38, kinesthetic - 26.
The software predicted that I have a auditory/verbal learning style.
What do you think?
Re: test
[quote=”carm”]I have taken test like this before and the results are the same mostly but very a little because of wrong questioning.
I have a very mild case of dyslexia. But learning style does not depict a disorder in my opinion. Maby the difficulty in learning but not the style. Does that make sence?
A tooke the test at the web site you posted. Mine are
Visual/Nonverbal 26 Visual/Verbal 24 Auditory 18 Kinesthetic 28.
My primary learning style is Tactile/ Kinesthetic.
It all depends on what side of the brain you think with mostly. I am a right brain thinker for example more in arts and less in math. More in non verbal and kinesthetic less in verbal and auditory.
To conclude a style does not depict a disability but the strugle in learning may. In school there was only one method of learning and if you could not learn under this method they consider you disabled when in fact its how its approched.

Re: Does a learning style indicate a disability?
Just about everybody has a learnign style preference.
When your “non” preference keeps you from getting information the way it’s being delivered, then it can get the “disability” or “disorder” label. So a lot depends on how you’re supposed to be learnign something — and then, of course, there’s all the information we’re supposed to perceive and process and respond to in everyday life. We all have our own ways of doing it — but when it’s not getting done right, then it’s a problem.
