On the Adult Education blog I came across this online test of learning styles, it's quick and easy. Except, the questions are a bit luddite - when I want to know how to spell a word I don't write various possible spellings on a piece of paper, I use the spellchecker! But, on the whole you "know what they mean" - at least an old fogey like me does...
It's the advice that follows that I found good. Sensible, and - at least for me - creative in that it suggested a few tricks I hadn't thought of. Well worth a look for both teachers and students!
BTW - for the record - I'm a "Visual/ Nonverbal Learner". But only just - by 2 points, with the others within a couple of points top to bottom. For once in my life a test that shows me to be well-balanced! ¶ 7:56 AM

Hi Tim, a "Visual/Verbal Learner" here, and a rather strong (or unbalanced) one apparently, distancing Nonverbal by 6 points, Auditory by 12 and Kinestethic by 14.
The advice seems sensible and appropriate to my learning style; I noticed in particular this one:
"Make use of computer word processing. Copy key information from your notes and textbook into a computer. Use the print-outs for visual review."
Which is one of the reasons behind my blog. Thanks for the pointer!

As you say that seems to confirm that writing the blog is a really good idea for you. As a teacher I suppose I need to think up equivalent activities to propose to other sorts of learners... Hmmm...
