The instruments listed below are self-scoring tests that help determine one's learning styles in a variety

ALSAT
The ACTR Learning Styles Assessment Tool is supported and copyrighted by the American Council of Teachers of Russian (ACTR), which charges a small fee for its use. The ALSAT assesses sensory preferences, cerebral dominance, and a variety of cognitive styles. This test is intended for use by teachers of any subject (foreign language, math, science, etc.) as well as by parents and students. The ALSAT link here takes you to one of the test developers, who can assist you with obtaining access to this instrument.

E&L
The E&L is a learning styles test developed especially for language learners. The E&L assesses styles in ten cognitive domains. Currently, the E&L is being validated and prepared for self-scoring. It will be available soon at the LangNet website hosted by the National Foreign Language Center. In the interim, those who would like to use it are invited to participate in the validation of this instrument. The E&L link here will take you to one of the two developers of the instrument. Simply indicate that you would like to participate in the validation study, and you will be contacted.
