My results for the VARK test were interesting because they were very different from the results I got from the same test earlier in the year.
The first VARK test put me as an aural / visual learner whereas the VARK test I have just taken put me as a multimodal learner. My second highest score was for a kinaesthetic style of learning, something I scored very low in the first time I sat this test. Does this show inconsistencies in the test or that my learning style has changed over the year (vet nursing is a fairly kinaesthetic course)?
I felt that the Fielder learning styles provided more relevant and comprehensive questions and the answers it gave seemed to me to be closer to what I am.
The style of questioning reminded me of the Kiersey Temperament Sorter used in analysis of personality types which cross references its questions so that the results are based on answers from more than one question. To me this seems more likely to give an accurate analysis of learning styles.

The cross referencing sounds like the way to go. I was constantly worried that each answer would throw the whole test out of whack.
Also there was something about WordPress that I was going to find out for you, and I have forgotten what it was!
