Explanation

Convergent learners are best at solving problems and the practical application of ideas.

Diverger (ii) excels at concrete experience and reflective observation, imaginative and interested in people.

Assimilator (iii) creates theoretical models with sound logic and inductive reasoning, analytic and less interested in people.

Accommodator (iv) seeks new experiences, adapts to new situations, and takes risks.

The pairing runs Convergent-b, Diverger-a, Assimilator-d, Accommodator-c.

Kolb built these styles on his experiential learning cycle of experience, reflection, conceptualisation and experimentation.
