Results

Visual (A)

If Visual scored the highest, you primarily process the world through images and mental pictures. You may prefer visual aids, enjoy beautiful surroundings, and express yourself through your appearance or creativity.

Auditory (B)

If Auditory scored the highest, you focus on sounds, tones, and spoken words. Conversations, music, and auditory explanations deeply resonate with you.

Kinesthetic (C)

If Kinesthetic scored the highest, you process life through feelings and physical sensations. You connect with experiences on an emotional or tactile level and learn best by doing.

Auditory Digital (D)

If Auditory Digital scored the highest, you rely on logic, structure, and internal dialogue. You excel at analysing situations, problem-solving, and organising thoughts into a coherent process.
