Project 2: The VARK inventory learning style (My VARK questionnaire scores.)
My VARK scores were:
Visual: 2
Aural: 6
Read/Write: 7
Kinesthetic: 8
I have a multimodal (ARK) learning preference which I like and I agree with the test
results as well. It is something very interesting to have a program where you can
discover the way or ways you learn and communicate.

After all, it is fairly good to say that this makes sense. I have never done such an interesting
thing than one it could tell me the way I use to learn and communicate as well. I might say
that most of the results the test scored me I agreed with them. I have a multimodal learning
style and I am sure of that. Even though, the strongest point that most arose among all is
kinesthetic. I agree on that too. I have the kinesthetic learning style more developed than the
others and I believe that happens because I have almost lived all my life in the countryside. I
had lived since I was born until twenty years old. Over there you gain a relationship with the
nature as if you were living a symbiosis with it. You have to use all your senses to understand
it.
In my case, I like to see those huge trees standing in the middle of the forest and try to guess
their age. I don’t want to think if those beautiful forests disappear in our country such as: El
Imposible National Park, The Montecristo National Park, Cerro Verde, El Pital and if so where
we are going to go in order to develop our kinesthetic style if those forests no longer exist. Are
we going to developed it at the San Salvador city´s rivers? No way… We must to preserve
those forestry reserves at any cost in order they can last longer.
I also like to hear the bird songs and appreciate them as if they were singing to me. I like of
course to collect rocks and appreciate their forms, shapes and natural formations. I like to find
forms on rock such as: pictographs, petrographs etc… I also like to invent new things and
learn a little about all. I like to read what I like and write what I think. I like to write about real
life experiences and non-real things as well.
CONCLUSION
As a conclusion, I think that was an amazing test and not just the test but also its results. Now
on, I cannot hesitate telling others people my learning style when they ask so. Even more, I
am going to try to develop harder my style and take advantage of it.
