Subjective determining what type of learner someone is. But what is true in my case anyhow is that certain teachers teaching styles suit me better than others.

I have to agree - our learning preferences may not always correlate well with learning effectiveness but if they push us to explore and learn more, then any style should be fine. I do think that teaching styles are an area for more research. Teacher effectiveness can be based on topic but the most effective teachers I had tended to use a mixture of styles to engage students and facilitate understanding.
