Assessing students' learning styles

Quite a funny article, in the education guardian about assessing students' learning styles. Not to be taken too seriously in places, but an interesting spin on the issue:-

Assessing students' learning styles, keeping the data and using it to plan lessons is, like the rest of the cod-psychological tosh on the web, a bucketful of nonsense. You cannot take a snapshot of someone's preferences on one day and use it to plan their whole future, as their responses are dictated by mood. Tomorrow, perhaps, I may be feeling more entrepreneurial, more kinesthetic, more political, less intuitive. My answers, and consequently my profile, will be different.
The notion of personalised learning has excited many in the education world. It strikes the Department for Education and Skills as a way forward. It worries me. No teacher in the world has the time or technical ability to plan a lesson that is differentiated 30 ways. And you can have all the data in the world on a class: it doesn't mean you will be able to teach them.
The world of systematised learning is merely a means of selling computer software. Don't trust it. It is a set of crutches for the indolent of mind.
Better to trust in teachers' experience and professional judgment about what their class requires.
