Test-takers respond to 30 statements, such as "I follow oral directions better than written ones" with an answer of "not like me," "a little like me," "like me" and "a lot like me." After taking the test, users are given the option to purchase a six-page analysis of their learning style for $8.95. An e-mail address is required to receive test results. Passing Exams (passingexams.co.nz), a test prep company, offers a similar test where users can print the test and analyze their own results for free.

After taking the left- or right-brain quiz, users can take two additional five-question quizzes that provide more specific information about individual learning styles. All quizzes are free and no personal information is required to see the results.
