===NASSP Learning Style Profile===
The [[National Association of Secondary School Principals|NASSP]] Learning Style Profile (LSP) is a second-generation instrument for the diagnosis of student cognitive styles, perceptual responses, and study and instructional preferences.<ref name="KeefeMonk1988">{{cite book |last1=Keefe |first1=James W. |last2=Monk |first2=John S. |date=1988 |title=Learning style profile: technical manual |location=Reston, VA |publisher=[[National Association of Secondary School Principals]] |isbn=0882102133 |oclc=22143235}}</ref> The LSP is a diagnostic tool intended as the basis for comprehensive style assessment with students in the sixth to twelfth grades. It was developed by the [[National Association of Secondary School Principals]] research department in conjunction with a national task force of learning style experts. The Profile was developed in four phases with initial work undertaken at the [[University of Vermont]] (cognitive elements), [[Ohio State University]] (affective elements), and [[St. John's University (New York City)|St. John's University]] (physiological/environmental elements). Rigid validation and normative studies were conducted using factor analytic methods to ensure strong construct validity and subscale independence.

The LSP contains 23 scales representing four higher order factors: cognitive styles, perceptual responses, study preferences and instructional preferences (the affective and physiological elements). The LSP scales are: analytic skill, spatial skill, discrimination skill, [[categorizing]] skill, sequential processing skill, simultaneous processing skill, [[memory]] skill, [[perceptual response]]: visual, perceptual response: auditory, perceptual response: emotive, persistence orientation, verbal risk orientation, verbal-spatial preference, manipulative preference, study time preference: early morning, study time preference: late morning, study time preference: afternoon, study time preference: evening, grouping preference, posture preference, mobility preference, sound preference, lighting preference, temperature preference.<ref name="KeefeMonk1988"/>
