Kirkpatrick's Levels, Bloom's Taxonomy, Mager's Six Pack...all horseshit, but each containing an element of usefulness.
Self proclaimed educational experts have established a lucrative industry that has absolutely no practical benefit. The perfect example is the second question of the survey you keep asking people to take. i stopped when 'consult a fucking dictionary' wasn't an answer for question 2 asking what one would do if he/she wasn't sure how to spell a word. Finger trace the word in air? Fuck me.
To master any knowledge requirement, everyone uses a combination of all the artificially segmented 'learning styles'. This fact didn't dissuade the purveyors of educational bullshit; they simply started talking about 'dominant' learning styles. The tough thing with this gambit is no objective data exists to support the existence of 'dominant' learning styles relative to knowledge achievement; it's all self reported and amounts to nothing but a personal preference. The fact that anyone attempts to quantify this qualitative criteria is bizarre.
One of your links attempted to link learning style with brain geography, as if the totality of the mind (knowledge center) can be compartmentalize in this manner.
