The concept of style is always being associated and linked with the nature of individuality and is used to describe an individual quality, form, activity or behavior sustained over time (Rayner and Riding, 1997). The idea of style could exist in all areas and domains in the field of education, be it cognition, thinking, teaching and learning and it is undeniable that all these will influence the performance of students in both academic and non-academic settings (Rayner and Riding, 1997; Sternberg and Grigorenko, 1997).
