hi everyone! do you know how many cognitive styles are there besides the implusive vs reflective and field denpendence vs field independence?
and are they always in pairs? where can I find a kind of questionnaire to learn my cognitive style? or any suggestions or tools will help me? I am waiting for your ideas

Not really aware about official cognitive categories, but I have a list at my fingertips of communication style pairs (from CUP Photocopiables series - Intercultural Resource Pack):
systematic/organic
direct/diplomatic
formal/informal
inductive/deductive
head/heart
high context/low context
colleague/friend
Last week I did EI tests with my students. We used the EI online tests found on Similarminds.com

There are quite a few different "dichotomies" for learning styles, the research in the area seems so muddled that I wouldn't put too much stock in it.
This article talks about the research that's been done on the research:
