Introduction
We all approach our learning differently;

as trainers, we need to take different
learning styles into account if we want to
get the most out of our trainees.
Take the short learning styles quiz - based
on Honey & Mumford 1982 [1] - to
identify your personal preference and
some learning methods especially suited
to this style. Importantly, we will also
direct you to learning methods that cater
for different styles to help you
incorporating a balanced combination of
learning methods into your training.
Look at the Quiz statements and tick the boxes for those that are usually true
for you. Leave the boxes empty if the statements are usually untrue for you.

Learning methods that suit you
Your primary learning style. Match: 0.316

Pragmatist style
Pragmatists need to be able to see how to put the learning into practice in the real world.
Abstract concepts and games are of limited use unless they can see a way to put the
ideas into action. Pragmatists are likely to be experimenters, trying out new ideas,
theories and techniques to see if they work. They may act quickly and confidently on
ideas, getting straight to the point, and may lose patience with lengthy discussions.
Learning methods especially suited to pragmatists include:
Practicals
Case studies
Problem setting
Discussions
You might want to think about incorporating methods that are thought to be effective for
other learning styles.
Your secondary learning style. Match: 0.316

Reflector style
Reflectors prefer to stand back and observe. They tend to be cautious, preferring to take
a back seat. They like to collect and analyse information to help them reach their
conclusions, which they may take considerable time and effort to develop. Reflectors see
the big picture by using information gathered from previous experience as well as the
here and now.
Learning methods especially suited to reflectors include:
Paired discussions
Self analysis questionnaires
Time out [simply build in sufficient breaks to make space for the reflectors]
Showcase / Demonstrations
Feedback from others
Coaching
Your tertiary learning style. Match: 0.250

Theorist style
Theorists like to think through problems in a logical manner. They value rationality and
objectivity, and like to assimilate disparate facts into coherent theories. They are
disciplined, aiming to fit things into a rational order. They are often keen on basic

assumptions, principles, theories, models and systems thinking.
Learning methods especially suited to theorists include:
Models
Classroom response systems (get one of the theorists in the classroom to be
responsible for the stats!)
Story-telling
Quotes
Tutorials (these may then be coupled to practicals for applying the theory learned in
the tutorials)
Your quaternary learning style. Match: 0.087

Activist style
Activists like to immerse themselves fully in new experiences. They enjoy the here and
now, and tend to be open minded, enthusiastic and flexible. They have a tendency to act
first and consider the consequences later, and they often seek to centre activities around
themselves.
Learning methods especially suited to activists include:
Brainstorming
Problem setting
Group discussions
Roleplaying
