This questionnaire has been devised to assist trainers who appreciate the usefulness of Honey and Mumford's Learning Styles model but find their questionnaire rather cumbersome for use in a short training session. It is intended as a short and pithy introduction to Learning Styles that can be used at the beginning of a one-day training event or short course. This "Rough and ready reckoner" lacks the sophistication of Honey and Mumford's questionnaire but is easy to complete, simple to score and a useful discussion starter.
INSTRUCTIONS
