I think that's a little too dogmatic as presented in the article. Both the "conscious" and "subconscious" descriptions for kinesthetic AND visual learning fit aspects of how my mind works, and even the auditory ones aren't entirely wrong -- for instance, I speak well in front of people and sometimes sort information by talking out loud. Obviously not all people are going to fit neatly into the suggested boxes! But everything except the "shy or private when talking" part of the auditory unconscious learning is accurate to my experience, while the kinesthetic and visual unconscious learning descriptions are completely untrue of me. So there's definitely something to the idea. :-)
I do tend to fiddle with my hands while listening to presentations, though the distraction factor is not nearly as high as with podcasts or audiobooks -- probably because there is also the visual aspect of watching the presenter, and maybe looking at slides or a chalkboard. But I still tap fingers and feet, twirl pens, and doodle a lot to keep myself focused on what I'm hearing. *wry*
