FRANCES J,
There are numerous simple and quick assessments that are listed on the internet. Also, I observe my students while they are answering a general survey form that I give when I start a new course. You can quickly see those that are auditory, visual, and tactile learners by their body language, and responses on the form. I also ask them on the form how they feel they learn best and by the time they are in college students have an understanding of how they prefer to receive information.
