The Learning Style Inventory: A Research Note
Abstract
In a June 1998 Asian Review of Accounting: Special Education Issue article ‘Learning Styles Preferences of Accounting Students in Multicultural Cohorts’, R. Desai and D. Taylor discussed Kolb's Learning Style Inventory. This paper comments on that article. It cites Freedman and Stumpf's 1980 discussion of the Learning Style Inventory (LSI) in ‘Learning Style Inventory: Less than meets the eye.’ This article was one of the first of many criticisms, not only of the LSI‐1, but of the LSI‐11, the revised instrument issued by Kolb in 1984. Freedman and Stumpf's discussion started a debate that continues to this day. My response to research using the LSI should also involve an interactive response between reader and writer. This particular response comments on R. Desai's and D. Taylor's interpretations and cautions that some of them may be unintentionally misleading.
