"Auditory learning appeals to individuals who are able to encounter and retain information that is delivered in some type of verbal presentation. Rather than making use of reading or other types of visual tools to learn, a person who is primarily auditory in their learning capacity will absorb much more data by encountering the information via a lecture, speech or even an audio recording."

The results clearly show that I am an aural learner as the score of 11 was almost three times higher the number of the second highest result. I was not surprised by this as I find talking myself through activities and saying numbers or passages out loud to help me remember them. However I was very surprised to see that I did not score a single point in the kinaesthetic section. This makes me question the reliability of the test as I find that I learn technical tasks quickly by watching an example and practising it myself.
