Honey and Mumford: Learning Styles Questionnaire
There is no time limit to this questionnaire. It will probably take you 10 -15 minutes. The
accuracy of the results depends on how honest you can be. There are no right or wrong
answers. If you agree more than you disagree with a statement put a tick. If you disagree
more than you agree put a cross by it. Be sure to mark each item with either a tick or
cross. When you have completed the questionnaire, continue this task by responding to
the points that follow.
