Kolb Learning Style Inventory

The Kolb Learning Style Inventory (LSI) is a self-report assessment based on experiential learning theory that identifies how individuals prefer to learn. Developed by David Kolb in 1984, it classifies learners into four styles—Diverging, Assimilating, Converging, and Accommodating—based on two dimensions: how information is perceived and how it is processed.
