The ILS Inventory
Your Learning Styles are a mix of four dimensions:
active/reflective, sensing/intuitive, visual/verbal, and sequential/global
The Index of Learning Styles is an on-line survey instrument used to assess preferences in the four dimensions
You fill-in a forty-four A/B question survey and submit it, then your four preferences are reported back to your immediately.
It takes less than 5 minutes.
The results are not stored: when the report window is closed, the results are not saved.
What it is and How is it used
The survey results provide an indication of your learning preferences
Your learning style profile provides an indication of possible strengths and tendencies or habits that might lead to difficulty in academic settings.
The profile does not reflect your suitability or unsuitability for a particular subject, discipline, or profession.
It is a guide for selecting learning approaches that maximize your learning
This is what it looks like

How to interpret your score
The reported score for a dimension indicates your preference for one category or the other.
If your score for a dimension is 1 or 3, you are fairly well balanced on the two categories of that dimension, with only a mild preference for one or the other.
If your score for a dimension is 5 or 7, you have a moderate preference for one category of that dimension. You may learn less easily in an environment that fails to address that preference at least some of the time than you would in a more balanced environment.
If your score for a dimension is 9 or 11, you have a strong preference for one category of that dimension. You may have difficulty learning in an environment that fails to address that preference at least some of the time.
Active/Reflective
Active
Active learners tend to retain and understand information best by doing something active with it—discussing or applying it or explaining it to others.
Active learners tend to like group work.
Reflective
Reflective learners prefer to think about it quietly first.
Reflective learners prefer working alone.
Sensing/Intuitive
Sensing
Sensing learners tend to like learning facts
Sensors often like solving problems by well-established methods
Sensors tend to be patient with details and good at memorizing facts and doing lab work
Intuitive
Intuitive learners often prefer discovering possibilities and relationships
Intuitors like innovation and dislike repetition
Intuitors are more comfortable with abstractions and mathematical formulations.
Visual/Verbal
Visual
Visual learners remember best what they see—pictures, diagrams, flow charts, timelines, films, and demonstrations.
Verbal
Verbal learners get more out of words—written and spoken explanations
Sequential/Global
Sequential
Sequential learners tend to follow logical stepwise paths in finding solutions;
Global
Global learners tend to learn in large jumps, absorbing material almost randomly without seeing connections, and then suddenly “getting it.”
Team up
We will pair you up with someone in the class and you can share what your styles mean to you with a partner.
