However, you calculate the totals, ensure you use the chosen method consistently
throughout the questionnaire. The total scores for each style indicate your relative
preferred learning style or styles. There are no rights or wrong answers. Some
people have very strong preferences, even to the extent that they have little or no
preference in one or two of the styles. Other people have more evenly balanced
preferences, with no particularly strong style. The point is simply to try to
understand as much as you can about yourself and your strengths (your preferred
style or styles), and then make best use of learning methods which suit your
strengths (your preferred style or styles.
