the Forer theory offers an interesting take on the actual test papers used to find out our learning styles The most common explanation for the Forer effect is a combination of [|wishful thinking] and the mental equivalent of [|pareidolia], the tendency to see patterns in things. In particular, humans tend to see vague statements as true, by self-deception : remembering cases and circumstances where they were true and forgetting other circumstances.

This functional indirect pathway can be summarized as   exploring > reflecting > persisting > rationality >

This contrasts with personality models which emphasise measurement at the expense of theory (such as the Big Five model, e.g. Costa & McCrae, 1992),

The development of a model of personality which provides direct advice on how to implement interventions such as by training, CBT, coaching and selfdevelopment. The hybrid model learning advocates that intervention is most easily and directly undertaken with sociocognitive scales as opposed to biological scales. · Prediction of functional and dysfunctional learning outcomes. The proposed hybrid model focuses on the process of learning in personality instead of simply describing personality (as the Big Five model for example sets out to do). · Development of a model which aims to predict both functional work behaviour and dysfunctional work behaviour better than existing models.

At the same time, it is important to note that research into the hybrid model of learning in personality is still quite limited and much work remains.
