WHAT THIS IS

This short self-assessment helps you explore your personal learning style: how you naturally absorb, process and retain new information.

It’s inspired by the VARK learning model originally developed by Neil Fleming (1987) and adapted here to align with the Be More Strategic framework.

WHY IT MATTERS

In the Strategic Mastery Framework, curiosity and learning sit at the heart of Level 2: Cultivate Open-Mindedness.

Strategic thinkers are lifelong learners. They explore, ask questions, and adapt how they learn. They know that progress isn’t just about knowing more, but about noticing how they learn best, so they can grow more effectively.

“The best strategists are great learners, not because they know all the answers, but because they never stop asking better questions.”

Victories may build confidence, but missteps often build wisdom. Maybe you really weren’t bad at maths or languages or music, you just weren’t being taught in a way that suited how your brain prefers to learn. Understanding this is powerful self-awareness.
