Learning Style Inventory Comparison		This site is intended to provide a resource to teachers, students, parents and educators in the area of learning styles. Given that the number of learning style sites and inventories are growing, making informed decisions related to incorporating learning styles thinking into one’s curriculum and/or personal life may be difficult. For this reason, this site offers some information and comparison related to many of the leading theories and inventories, in addition to resource and research links. § Take the Paragon Learning Style Inventory § Explanation of the 16 learning Styles § Teaching Across Type – 5 Principles for Teachers			Classroom Management Resources

The following 3 charts provide a cross reference of the Kolb, Gregorc, and Modalities Learning Style Systems.

• Explanation of the 4 Dimensions in the chart.
• Explanation of the 16 Types depicted here.

Integrating Learning Style Formats

	Concrete/S		Abstract/N
Reflective	ISTJ 6%	ISFJ 6%	INFJ 2%	INTJ 2%
	ISTP 5%	ISFP 5%	INFP 3%	INTP 3%
Experiential	ESTP 11%	ESFP 12%	ENFP 6%	ENTP 6%
	ESTJ 11%	ESFJ 12%	ENFJ 5%	ENTJ 5%

In the above framework used in the 4mat or Kolb Learning Style Test the following equivalents can be used:

Introvert = Reflective, Extrovert = Experiential Concrete = Sensate, Abstract = Intuitives

	Concrete/S		Abstract/N
Sequential/J	ISTJ 6%	ISFJ 6%	INFJ 2%	INTJ 2%
Random/P	ISTP 5%	ISFP 5%	INFP 3%	INTP 3%
	ESTP 11%	ESFP 12%	ENFP 6%	ENTP 6%
Sequential/J	ESTJ 11%	ESFJ 12%	ENFJ 5%	ENTJ 5%

In the above framework used in the Gregorc system the following equivalents can be used:

Sequential = Judger, Random = Perceiver Concrete = Sensate, Abstract = Intuitives

	Concrete/S		Abstract/N
Sequential/J	ISTJ 6%	ISFJ 6%	INFJ Visual	INTJ Learners
Random/P	ISTP 5%	ISFP 5%	INFP 3%	INTP 3%
	ESTP Kinesthetic	ESFP Learners	ENFP Auditory	ENTP Learners
Sequential/J	ESTJ 11%	ESFJ 12%	ENFJ 5%	ENTJ 5%
