Critical review demonstrates insufficient evidence for using cognitive style in system design, indicating that personality assessments are an ineffective foundation for software development.

Key Points

To evaluate whether cognitive style literature provides a viable, reliable foundation for deriving operational design guidelines for Management Information Systems and Decision Support Systems.
Conducted a critical literature review examining empirical studies and theoretical frameworks connecting cognitive style assessments to system design.
Evaluated the operational applicability of cognitive style measures across six specific criteria addressing current utility and future research potential.
Identified that the existing body of cognitive style literature is an unsatisfactory basis for deriving operational design specifications for information systems.
Concluded that future cognitive style research is unlikely to generate actionable design rules, warranting skepticism toward using paper-and-pencil cognitive assessments in system customization.
