What’s My Learning Style

Prior to launching your next training program, it’s crucial to consider the learning style of your audience to maximize learning results. Each person has their own learning style, and this assessment identifies an individual’s learning preference and teaches how to use this preference to build on strengths and minimize weaknesses for better learning.

Learning Styles Questionnaire (LSQ)

There are different learning styles, and your learning style is the way that you best learn and retain information. Understanding your learning style helps you optimize your own learning experiences by knowing what you need to best learn. LSQ will help you determine your style.
