After filling out the 'VARK' Questionnaire, the results concluded that I am a Read/Write.

However, I was very close to being a visual learner too. These results do reflect the way I learn because I like to read and write things during my own study time, however, I like to use lots of visual cues such as colour and underlining certain parts so that I remember things better. During tutorials and lectures, I prefer visual cues on a presentation as well as writing. Reading things through more than once does help to reinforce my learning, as does writing the most relevant points down. Even though it may take longer, I also prefer to write down my notes rather than typing them out, as I can then use my own layout on the page and for some reason I learn things more this way and actually take in the information, rather than just copying it.
So even though my score favoured the more Read/Write learning style, I think that I am equally a visual learner.
After taking the Myers and Briggs indicator test during the lecture yesterday, my results showed that I am 2% of the population that is INFP. This means that I am an idealist and very loyal. Curious, quick to see possibilities, and seek to understand people and to help them fulfill their potential. Adaptable and flexible. I can agree with this description.

An interesting reflection. Your learning style is similar to mine - I write things down to remember and make sense of what I am studying, and then make diagrams or small images to learn them. The Myers and Briggs indicator is actually quite an accurate test.
