The stability of learning style preferences, as measured by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and Learning Style Inventory (LSI), was examined using a configural frequency analysis of differences. Thirteen cohorts (222 graduate students) completed the instruments 3 times during their programs. Implications for use of learning style measures are discussed.
A test-retest study of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator over 20 months yielded findings similar to those in previous studies of the instrument. However, an additional examination of type dynamics using loglinear analyses indicated that dominant thinking and dominant sensing did not retest as well as did dominant intuition and feeling for this group of 99 master's students. Although the psychometric properties of the instrument could have been a factor, environmental presses appeared to have been the primary influence on these results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
