How Do You Like to Learn?

Discover how you prefer to learn with our free, interactive questionnaire. Whether you're returning to education, considering counselling training or simply curious about how you engage with new information, this quiz will help you explore your learning preferences and discover practical ways to support your studies.

There's no right or wrong way to learn, and no single learning style defines you.

Understanding Your Learning Preferences

We all approach learning differently. Some of us enjoy discussion and collaboration, while others prefer time to reflect, explore ideas independently or develop understanding through practical experience.

Our Learning Preferences Questionnaire explores eight aspects of learning to help you better understand the environments, activities and teaching approaches you find most engaging and supportive.

A note about learning styles

Although you may have heard people described as visual, auditory or practical learners, research suggests that we don't learn exclusively through one particular style. In fact, combining different approaches can help us develop a deeper and more flexible understanding.

This questionnaire is designed as a tool for self-reflection, rather than a scientifically validated assessment or a way of placing you into a particular category. Your results highlight your current preferences, not your abilities or potential.

At Step by Step Counselling Training, we recognise that effective learning involves a combination of theory, discussion, reflection and practical experience. We encourage you to explore different approaches, challenge yourself and discover what supports your learning as you develop.

There are no right or wrong answers, and your preferences may change over time.
