This is just a rough test but if you score mostly As, you are more of a

visual learner.

Mostly Bs mean that you are more of an audio learner and

mostly Cs mean that you are more of a kinaesthetic learner.

Most of us are a mix, and if you want to know more, there are

heaps of online tests and quizzes that are a lot more

comprehensive.

Pay particular attention to your answer to Question 9, especially

as a lot of people turn to hypnosis for help when they are suffering from a worry-related problem,

such as panic attacks, depression, phobias or chronic anxiety

.

Not only should you let your therapist know about how your learning style manifests itself

when you worry (your worrying style) but you should also use your learning style to reshape

your thinking consciously.
