The researcher intends to study the relationship between learning styles and personality traits among the selected Education students in Zhoukou Normal University, Henan, China. Being a teacher herself, she wants to further inquire if learning styles and personality traits can be intertwined with each other and if a certain personality trait shapes an important aspect of learning style. Thus, the researcher wants to probe the correlation between the learners’ learning styles and their personality traits in order to help the university come up with improved teaching strategies for the teachers and effective learning experiences for the students.
