The VARK test is a test to determine a person's strong points comprehending information. The categories are Visual, Aural, Reading, and Kinesthetic (hence V.A.R.K.)
My VARK score after completing the questionnaire was as follows:
Vs = 5
As = 9
Rs = 9
Ks = 6
I do not totally agree with this description. Visual would be not be my least effective method of obtaining information. I do take in information from charts, graphs, pictures etc. I would say just as much as read/write if not more. I would say that read/write is a learning skill that I know works for me but it would be the least attractive learning style for me to use as my mind gets distracted easily when trying to learn from reading/writing. I like to listen to lecturers to take in information as long as I can ask questions and interact so as not to get left behind as I loose concentration if this happens. I also learn from the hands on approach and interaction in a practical sense. I would have expected my scores to be around the same level for each action as I am a multi-modal learner and do use all techniques at different times to take in information.
Your scores are not so far apart that you could say definitively that you predominantly read/write/aural - you could interpret this as multimodal.
