Theoretical and empirical arguments that support the construct validity of the Allinson‐Hayes Cognitive Style Index are reviewed in the light of Hodgkinson and Sadler‐Smith's (2003) assertion that Allinson and Hayes (1996) incorrectly specified the nature of the Cognitive Style Index (CSI) as a measure of intuition‐analysis predicated on a unitarist conception of the construct. It is concluded that Hodgkinson and Sadler‐Smith fail to offer a robust challenge to either the theoretical or empirical arguments supporting the construct validity of the Cognitive Style Index.
