Right, don't hide something just because I haven't used it yet.
Taken to an extreme, you might hide all the options besides "File
Open" because that's the history of what I clicked. 

Of course, this program is going to be much more complex. 
But let's say it determines that I'm details oriented, maybe
because I click through the help immediately upon coming to the site.
Sometimes I read the help right away, sometimes I feel like being more
adventurous and I try to break a program and find out what's wrong
with it. 

My point is, my cognitive style is not set in stone at all times and
trying to determine it after a few clicks is probably going to lead
you to an incorrect analysis, and possibly it's just going to piss
me off. Personally, for a site that tries to read my mind, I'd
rather tell the site my current mood or goal and let it modify things
according that that preference.
