I am interested to your question and will explain in detail soon (similar to my case). A bit hurry for this time, please remind me.

I will be waiting your answer Zol Bahri Razali...Thnx.

Dear, I have worked on Learning Styles, I think I may help you little bit regarding your quest. I have added a link of my paper on Learning styles in the last of this comment. I hope that you may find the answer of your question in that paper. In case if you don't, then inform me I'll send you more extra material on this regards. Please  

Article Learning Styles: History, Conceptualization and Continuum

Thank you Shahzad... your work and review paper is useful... it does not however answer my question which is: from where can I get the CSA software?

Thanks

Chaham

Hello Chaham,

I would like to find the CSA test too. I searched and could not find it from the internet. Can you shed some light on it?

Thanks,

Yin

Hello Yin,

Unfortunately I haven't been successful in getting the software yet. I have contacted several people but no results! 

There is a different version of it that claims to be more reliable (see Elizabeth R Peterson work) however it does not have all the functions and test as in the original one.

If you manage to get further information, please let me know.

Regards

Chaham

Hi 

I got the software from Richard Riding the developer of the software. Try contacting him. Also check out my publications on cognitive styles. 

Hello Khamsum......Thanks could you please send me his contact details?.....

i will go through you work indeed.

Chaham

forget the csa! it has dropped off the radar because it has such unethically poor reliability. your credibility will suffer if you make any claims based on it. ridding has not published on it since Peterson etal highlighted its poor psychometric properties.

Thanks Ian.... I am fully aware of Peterson's work. However, i still want to do some investigation myself.

What do you recommend then instead of CSA?  

that depends on your purpose in using a 'cognitive styles' investigation. cognitive style is not 'cognitive style'. using one collective term is misleading and is a major contributor to confusion.

Hi! Any luck with getting the CSA test? I'm in a similar situation as you were a year and a half ago. I would really appreciate any direction on where to look for it. Thanks.

Hello Oana,

Unfortunately I haven't managed to get it at all! It is like an urban legend :) 

I gave up looking and I am using another cognitive style model i.e. CoIS.

If you have any luck with CSA please let us know.

all the best

Hello Chaham,

How did you get access to the cognitive style model (ColS) you referred to in your comment ? 

Thanking you in advance for your help,

Regards

Hello Elise,

This is the reference... if you find trouble to get the paper, pleas inbox me :)

Eva Cools & Herman Van den Broeck (2007) Development and Validation of

the Cognitive Style Indicator, The Journal of Psychology: Interdisciplinary and Applied, 141:4, 359-387, DOI: 10.3200/JRLP.141.4.359-388

All the best in your study.

Hello Chaham,

Thank you very much for your help. I found the paper but I am still struggling to figure out how to cote the questionnaire. The cognitive style which has the highest score is thus the predominant cognitive style of the person ?

Yers Elise... this is what you do.... remember that we adopted different CSs according to situations... it is not exclusive... However, people tend to adopt a certain CS more frequently than other CSs...

I would add a category for those who do not have a clear CS (average scores of each CS questions are very close to each other)... those people tend to be fixable learners and easier to adapt to situations.  

best wishes
