If you're trying to determine your learning styles without a formal assessment, there are a few questions you can ask yourself to help determine your learning preferences.

Do you enjoy reading books/articles or listening to lectures?

Or writing or drawing when you are trying to learn new material?

What about to work in groups or individually?

Whivh one do you prefer hands-on learning or sitting in a classroom?

or do you prefer to learn better when you are explaining to someone else?

Do you learn better when you're being shown how to do something or when you receive the information?

Do you prefer having time to practice or would you rather just move on to the next topic?

These questions don't offer as much insight as a formal assessment, but they can help give you a better idea of your learning styles.
