Challenges the idea of a single IQ
We all have these in differing aptitudes. The danger is to assume that our current strengths are our learning styles, but we can learn to be better in all of them (growth mindset). Also, what we are good at doesn't imply that we like to learn that way. Assumptions about learning are to be avoided. We learn in fluid and complex ways, and labeling a student as one type of learner would most often be a mistake.
