After completing the online VARK questionnaire (http://www.vark-learn.com) in order to determine the best way I learn. The results I obtained were as follows:
Visual: 8
Aural: 8
Read/write: 4
Kinesthetic: 6
My results indicated I have a multimodal learning preference. This is definitely something I agree with as I tend to incorporate many different styles or options when learning something. In a work context, I feel as though I learn best if things are first explained to me then demonstrated and then I can ask questions.

this suggests that I am able to adapt to the mode being used or requested. I tend to agree with this as I like to be flexible and feel comfortable knowing that I can and will use a variety of styles of tools to achieve the desired outcome.
