Learning Style Inventory Results

I feel like the learning styles results are reasonably accurate, but I'm not convinced of the validity of the theory itself. Certainly, I enjoy logic and verbal pursuits most, as I haven't developed much artistic ability, but I'm not sure that translates to those being better ways for me to learn material. Instead, I feel like different material lends itself most easily to certain "learning styles." Rather than teaching us to discern which ways our students learn best, I feel like it would be more beneficial to give teacher candidates the means and abilities to teach material in whatever way it is best taught, and for us to be able to give our students an appreciation of those styles of learning, no matter what they've been previously told their learning style is.
