I cannot put a number on it. I do not think the concept of learning styles is completely without merit. But it is overused and often an excuse. But, for example, I have a difficult time taking notes due to physiological issues, I cannot write fast enough to keep up. So, I compensated by become a better reader and having a better memory.
Is that a learning style? Or is it an adaptive or maladaptive strategy?

....... Thank you for saying that. Of course everyone tries to learn in ways that are most productive.
However, imo we have robbed kids of the gifts of memorization. No matter how long it takes,every child benefits from memorizing the basics of math, grammar, spelling, reading. Here, forget about adapting or learning style. Just hang with every kid until the above are memorized. One day or a hundred, give every kid those tools.
