<P> A completely different Learning Styles Inventory is associated with a binary division of learning styles, developed by Richard Felder and Linda Silverman . In Felder and Silverman's model, learning styles are a balance between pairs of extremes such as: Active / Reflective, Sensing / Intuitive, Verbal / Visual, and Sequential / Global . Students receive four scores describing these balances . Like the LSI mentioned above, this inventory provides overviews and synopses for teachers . </P> <P> The NASSP Learning Style Profile (LSP) is a second - generation instrument for the diagnosis of student cognitive styles, perceptual responses, and study and instructional preferences . The LSP is a diagnostic tool intended as the basis for comprehensive style assessment with students in the sixth to twelfth grades . It was developed by the National Association of Secondary School Principals research department in conjunction with a national task force of learning style experts . The Profile was developed in four phases with initial work undertaken at the University of Vermont (cognitive elements), Ohio State University (affective elements), and St. John's University (physiological / environmental elements). Rigid validation and normative studies were conducted using factor analytic methods to ensure strong construct validity and subscale independence . </P> <P> The LSP contains 23 scales representing four higher order factors: cognitive styles, perceptual responses, study preferences and instructional preferences (the affective and physiological elements). The LSP scales are: analytic skill, spatial skill, discrimination skill, categorizing skill, sequential processing skill, simultaneous processing skill, memory skill, perceptual response: visual, perceptual response: auditory, perceptual response: emotive, persistence orientation, verbal risk orientation, verbal - spatial preference, manipulative preference, study time preference: early morning, study time preference: late morning, study time preference: afternoon, study time preference: evening, grouping preference, posture preference, mobility preference, sound preference, lighting preference, temperature preference . </P> <P> Other methods (usually questionnaires) used to identify learning styles include Neil Fleming's VARK Questionnaire and Jackson's Learning Styles Profiler . Many other tests have gathered popularity and various levels of credibility among students and teachers . </P>
