Look at the highest score:
Your learning style is principally auditory. You can easily listen to lectures or audiotapes. However, you may not feel as comfortable making posters or working on projects. Be open to "hands-on" learning. Work with someone who has good kinesthetic skills.
Your learning style is principally visual. You may often be complimented for your "good taste" and your ability to create beauty out of your environment. However, lectures may seem daunting if the professor doesn’t use visual cues. Draw diagrams in your notes to refresh your memory.
Your learning style preference is principally kinesthetic, meaning that you like to conquer task with a hands-on approach. Your willing approach will serve you well in the "real world." However in the "college world" you may find obtaining information through lectures difficult. Find a study partner who is a good auditory learner. That person should be able to help you with this weakness.]
