Needing to summarize the following:
Neil Fleming developed the VARK model in 1987.
Fleming has been teaching for over 40 years.
Although this model has not been established as long as others, VARK is continually researched and analyzed.
It is a close relationship to Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences which includes some of the VARK preferences named as intelligences.
The phrase "I'm different, not dumb" reflects the basic belief present throughout Neil Fleming's written contributions to the learning style community.
VARK stands for visual, aural, read-write, and kinesthetic.
This system addresses how individuals take in and put out information.
By utilizing a simple 16-question assessment tool, users obtain a profile of their preferences and have access to information about how to enhance their own learning using the strengths indicated by the questionnaire.

History
In just under 10 minutes, an individual of any age can find out if he or she is visual, aural, read-write, kinesthetic, or a combination of these styles, which is known as being multimodal.
A unique aspect of of the questionnaire is that the questions are based on situations in which the learner has choices or decisions as to what the next step in communication might be for them personally.
The Three Basic Principles of VARK include:
Each person can learn but may do so differently despite the level of his or her ability.
When a student's learning preference is accomodated, his or her level of motivation increases.
It is best to present new material within the context of a learner's preferred mode of perception.
