column THEN Put a 1 in all the remaining boxes
(NOT THE VPS BOX at the bottom) Add up each
column and put the total in the box at the bottom
of that column
21
Total the score for each section. A score of 21
points or more in a modality indicates a strength
in that area. The highest of the 3 scores
indicates the most efficient method of
information intake. The second highest score
indicates the modality which boosts the primary
strength. For example, a score of 23 in visual
modality indicates a strong visual learner. Such
a learner benefits from the text, from
filmstrips, charts, graphs, etc. If the second
highest score is auditory, then the individual
would benefit from audio tapes, lectures, etc. If
you are strong kinesthetically, then taking notes
and rewriting class notes will reinforce
information.
