This document summarizes learning style and behavioral style inventory results for CGCC second-year students and faculty/staff. The results show a fairly even distribution of visual and tactile/kinesthetic learning styles among students, with approximately 8% being auditory learners. Regarding behavioral styles, students were more evenly split between feeler/intuitor and thinker/sensor styles. Faculty/staff results are also presented. Basic elements of the four behavioral styles - doves, eagles, owls, and peacocks - are defined. The styles individuals adopt in stressful situations and their needs in those situations are also outlined.
