Test-Retest Reliabilities of Standard and Realigned Forms of the Learning Style Inventory

The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that response bias was present in the standard form of Kolb's Learning Style Inventory and that this bias lowered reliability. An alternative form of the inventory was created by realigning the response endings to the sentences. Correlations calculated on scores obtained on two separate occasions for the two forms ranged from .45 to .73. Realignment did not improve reliabilities.
