Hi Shelley - Thanks for your post to the forum. I find that the majority of my students have never taken a learning styles assessment and have not really learned anything about learning styles. however, when I explain the concept, the majority of students can predict what the assessment will identify as their preferred style. Have your students take the assessment and send you their result. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan
