10. Scoring Total the scores for each category
A score of 21 points or more in a category indicates a strength in that area
The highest of the 3 scores indicates the most efficient method of information intake; the second highest score indicates the category that boosts the primary strength

11. Conclusion
Category 1 = Visual, Category 2 = Auditory, Category 3 = Kinesthic
