3. NORMS FOR THE LSI VERSION <strong>3.1</strong><br />
New norms for the LSI <strong>3.1</strong> were created from responses by several groups of users who completed the randomized LSI<br />
3. <strong>The</strong>se norms are used to convert LSI raw scale scores to percentile scores (see Appendix 1). <strong>The</strong> purpose of percentile<br />
conversions is to achieve scale comparability among an individual’s LSI scores (Barron 1996) and to defi ne cutpoints<br />
for defi ning the learning style types. Table 2 shows the means and standard deviations for KLSI <strong>3.1</strong> scale scores<br />
for the normative groups.<br />

Normative percentile scores for the LSI <strong>3.1</strong> are based on a total sample of 6977 valid LSI scores from users of the<br />
instrument. This user norm group is composed of 50.4% women and 49.4% men. <strong>The</strong>ir age range is 17-75, broken<br />
down into the following age-range groups: < 19 = 9.8%, 19-24 = 17.1%, 25-34 = 27%, 35-44 = 23%, 45-54 =<br />
17.2%, and >54 = 5.8 %. <strong>The</strong>ir educational level is as follows: primary school graduate = 1.2%, secondary school<br />
degree = 32.1%, university degree = 41.4%, and post-graduate degree = 25.3%. <strong>The</strong> sample includes college students<br />
and working adults in a wide variety of fi elds. It is made up primarily of U.S. residents (80%) with the remaining<br />
20% of users residing in 64 different countries. <strong>The</strong> norm group is made up of six subgroups, the specifi c demographic<br />
characteristics of which are described below.<br />
