Summary/Abstract: When teachers pay attention to individual differences, learning styles and cognitive styles of the students, all sides benefit. There is also another aspect to the way language learning is influenced by type differences. The discussion of the learning style is an important part of this aspect. Also student learning is affected by the degree to which the student is interested in and attracted to a subject. Type preferences are related to interest in different content areas as well as to the way the content is taught. When considering the importance of match or mismatch, it is useful to remember that certain subjects will turn on some types and turn off others.
