 In order to identify preferred learning style in Kolb's model, "​**[[http://​www.haygroup.com/​au/​services/​index.aspx?​ID=14323|learn­ing style inven­tory]]**"​ method has been developed. This **method for determining an individual’s optimal learn­ing style**, strengths and weaknesses consists of a survey which explores one's perceiving (how one prefers to acquire information) and processing (how one makes sense of new things). Various variants of this method can be found in simplified free on-line tests((For example: [[http://​casa.colorado.edu/​~dduncan/​teachingseminar/​KolbLearningStyleInventoryInfo.pdf|Duncan,​ D.
