I have gotten requests from students to post on this website the brain hemispheric preference and learning link assessments that they did in class.  Well, here they are--fun for the whole family!  I've also included the notes about learning style and left/right brain research.  It's pretty current, but this is a constantly changing field of study.

The files are in pdf format, so you'll need a recent version of the free Adobe Reader.

How to interpret the Learning Style Assessment

On the last page, you will score the test in the box according to the directions.  Here's how a, b, c, and d break down.

  • a - Visual
  • b - Auditory
  • c - Tactile
  • d - Kinesthetic

The one in which you scored the highest is what you write on the last line.  If you have two (or three or four) that are tied for the top honors, then write them all down.  That's not a bad thing!  It just means you're balanced in your learning styles.

How to interpret the Brain Hemispheric Assessment

On the last page, read the directions for scoring very carefully.  When it says "Score 1 point for each question you answered with only a and write the total," it really means it!  Notice the third line is reserved for when you answered both a & b.

Here's how a, b, and a/b break down:

  • a - Left Brain preference
  • b - Right Brain preference
  • a/b - integrated use of both Left and Right

If you had a tie score for the first two lines (not the integrated a/b), then you have a mixed preference.  If one is just a little bit more than the other--say, within one or two--then you have a mixed preference that favors that side.
