I discovered this booklet in ITBA’s university library. Kolb provides a matrix for different concepts related to learning styles: Concrete Experience (CE), Reflective Observation (RO), Abstract Conceptualization (AC) and Active Experimentation (AE). Depending on your scores on Kolb's test you belong to a particular profile: Assimilating, Converging, Diverging, Accommodating or a combination of two of them. I made an online test (the official one has a cost so I found a free one --although I doubt it is right-) and it said that I have an Assimilating profile.
I found out later that this booklet is not only outdated (Kolb launched a 4.0 version later) but he also moved from KLSI (Kolb Learning Style Inventory) to KELP (Kolb Experiential Learning Profile). The main difference is that he evolved from the fixed profiles we found here to growth mindsets, which is the new wave on this topic in which we may have some natural preferences but we can develop new skills. Despite that, I still found a couple of interesting concepts. Having read before other authors on this topic it didn’t surprise me too much but it is another mental framework that could be useful for some people.
