Abstract
This study tested the matching hypothesis using
Gregorcs Mind Styles (1977; 1984) and the related
Behavioral Styles Questionnaire by Alessandra,
Kelly, Sorenson, and Warren (2006). This study
refuted the matching hypothesis in that there we no
statistically significant instructional preferences as
prescribed by Gregorc amongst Hospitality
Management students. Students tended to prefer and
not prefer the same instructional preferences
regardless of style.
Abstract
These study findings question the notion that
teachers identify students learning styles and teach
them according to instructional preferences
prescribed by learning style theorists. Instead,
educators might find more success using the top five
preferred instructional preferences ranked by these
students, and limit the ones least preferred by
students.

The Gregorc Style Delineator (GSD) was not
used in the study to determine the mind style of
students because of reliability problems.
For example, the Cronbachs alpha for the four Mind Styles of
women engineers were .67 for concrete sequential, .53 for the
abstract sequential, .79 for the abstract random, and .72 for the
concrete random style (Gridley, 2006).
Gridley (2006) also found similar Cronbachs alphas among art
collectors.
Joniak and Isaksen (1988), found Cronbachs alpha ranging from .
23 for the abstract sequential to .57 for the concrete random as
generated by the GSD
