The undeniable power that various e-commerce and streaming websites exert on their users’ in terms of what they buy and what they watch is unquestionable, so the creation of better targeted advertisements and recommender systems is the need of the hour. Prediction of a person’s personality can be the key for the achievement of these goals. A novel way to understand the various facets of a person’s personality is by analyzing their MBTI (Myers–Briggs Type Indicator). This paper aims at classifying a user into any one of the sixteen personality types, defined by MBTI, through the use of natural language processing (NLP) and support vector machine (SVM) which was implemented on the MBTI dataset. Since the original dataset is unevenly distributed, SVM has been applied to the original dataset and an under sampled version of the MBTI dataset. The highest accuracy rate of 78.52% for the traits (thinking/feeling) was achieved in the original dataset whereas for the under sampled dataset it was 60.2% for the traits (judging/perceiving).

Based on data from 343 subjects, results suggest that Thompson's Test of Critical Thinking Skills has reasonable item difficulty and discrimination coefficients and appears to be valid. Construct validity was investigated by administering the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Group Embedded Figures Test. Although conclusions must be considered tentative pending additional study, the results warrant continued inquiry regarding the measure's value.

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) was examined for its utility as a predictor of intellective behaviors. For beginning, intermediate and advanced high school students measures of GPA, IQ, science achievement, and science aptitude were obtained. MBTI subscales were dichotomized and criteria were analyzed relative to the resultant eight groups. MBTI subscales provided evidence that typology may well be a moderating factor in intellective performance. The intuition (S-N) scale provided consistent indication of typological differences moderating performance. MBTI appeared to be more appropriate for heterogeneous groups and lost its discriminatory utility with homogeneous groups.

Optimising focus is a key success driver for many organisation leaders. The relationship between personality type and leadership focus is examined. Personality type is assessed with Form M of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator instrument, and leadership focus is explored through the development and application of a Leadership Focus Questionnaire. South African executives form the target population for this study. Both functionalist and interpretive approaches are applied. Three primary theoretical hypotheses about leadership focus, concerning (1) optimising the balance of focus between external and internal priorities, (2) the fit between the leadership personality type and the organisation type, and (3) the capacity to manage a multiple focus, are considered. Results show that Extraverted personality types are more comfortable with the challenges of focus in the leadership role than are Introverted types, and Extraverted, Sensing, Thinking and Judging types experience a greater degree of fit with their organisations than do Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling and Perceiving types.
