The C.I.T.E. Instrument (Babich, Burdine, Albright, and Randol, 1976) which was formulated at the Murdoch Teachers Center in Wichita, Kansas to help teachers determine the learning styles preferred by their students is divided into three main areas: 

• Information gathering includes auditory language, visual language, auditory numerical, visual numerical, and auditory-visual language.
   

• Work conditions focus on whether a student works better alone or in a group. 
   

• Expressiveness considers if a student is better at oral or written communication.

Scores on the Learning Styles Inventory fall into one of three categories: major, minor, and negligible.  These categories may be defined as follows:

• Major  The student prefers this mode of learning, feels comfortable with it, and uses it for important (to the student) learning.  A student does not necessarily have one and only one preferred style.
  

• Minor  The student uses this mode but usually as a second choice or in conjunction with other learning styles.
  

• Negligible  The student prefers not to use this if other choices are available.  The student does not feel comfortable with this style.

Frank B. Mann, III, Wyoming County, West Virginia, programmed a computer application system for the C.I.T.E. Learning Styles Inventory so that students may respond to the questions using the computer and the computer tallies the scores automatically.  West Virginia ABE teachers may obtain copies by contacting Louise Miller at 1-800-766-7372 ext. 334 e-mail:  lbmiller@access.k12.wv.us or download the following exe file.
