Hi Tim - you have beautifully described the learning styles in the terms of your discipline - wood-working! I think that putting together teams of diverse styles makes for great success as well as exposing the members to the usefullness of sometimes using the other styles. e.g. the hands-on folks see how much time can be saved if someone knows how to read the manual! I have in the past used team building exercises with faculty/administrators that experimented. We use two teams that were diverse and two homogeneous and we compare how successful the teams wer at completing tasks. Can you guess what the outcome was?
