Learning Styles
C.I.T.E. Learning Styles Inventory
The C.I.T.E. is divided into three main areas: language, visual language, auditory numerical, visual numerical and auditory-visual language
♦ Information gathering includes auditory l, auditory numerical, visual numerical and auditory-visual-kinesthetic combination.
♦ Work conditions focus on whether a student works better alone or in a group.
♦ Expressiveness considers if a student is better at oral or written communication.
This Learning Styles Inventory offers an additional way of evaluating preference, and also gives some suggestions as to how to plan your academic success with the resulting knowledge.
This is another type of learning styles inventory with questions that are based more on school environments. This inventory also has many learning strategies for various learning preferences.
