Introversion-extraversion and gender effects on attention were investigated. Eysenck's theory, based on excitability, underlying the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire suggests introverts performing better than extraverts on tasks of time to first identification and number identified in an attentional task (discerning differences between two similar cartoons). Based on 45 college students, gender-specific analysis showed increasing extraversion in men tended to relate to poorer performance in number identified and longer times in first identification while opposite relationships were found for women. Findings suggest gender differences on the EPQ and differential gender effects of EPQ-defined extraversion on attentional tasks. Eysenck's theory appeared upheld for men but not women. Extraversion defined by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (based on Jungian theory) was related to fewer numbers identified and longer times for first identification. Further research is needed to better identify underpinnings of this personality dimension and conditions for its effects.

Many of the challenges facing the accounting profession involve personality characteristics of accountants. Personality theories have generated a rich research stream outside accounting and are widely applied in other disciplines and professions. Yet little research using these theories has been done in accounting. To redress this imbalance, this paper examines Jungian personality-type psychology—one of the main personality theories—and the major psychometric instrument that has arisen from it—the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). The MBTI has been extensively tested for reliability and validity, and used in a large number of basic and education research studies. Results from reliability and validity testing indicate that the MBTI reliably measures personality characteristics predicted by Jungian theory. A small amount of published research has been conducted in accounting using the MBTI. These 16 articles are reviewed, with suggestions for additional research.

Factor Design

The construct validity of the Chinese version of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (Myers & Briggs, 1962) was examined by conducting two analyses – factor analysis and correlation analysis on four different personality tests in their revised Chinese versions and comparing the corresponding results. A sample of 998 undergraduates in China was used: 798 males and 200 females ranging in age from 19 to 23. Four Chinese-version personality questionnaires, Myers-Briggs Type Indication Form G, the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2, 16 Personality Factors and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, were used. The results showed that either a 4- or a 5-factor design appears to be the best choice for the Chinese version of the MBTI, the SN scale can be further divided into two parts, with one dealing with the problem “where to gather or perceive information”, and the other involving attitudes towards, and methods for selecting, information. The JP scale was largely unitary in nature compared with the 3 other scales of the MBTI.

Intentional Group

This study investigated the effect of incidental/intentional learning and the effect of personality types on participants� vocabulary learning. The sample involved 69 L2 learners. After completing a vocabulary test, they were placed into 2 groups. Both groups had to read 3 texts, with only the intentional group being informed about an upcoming posttest. Some vocabulary activities were provided for the intentional participants, drawing their attention to word meanings. The incidental group, however, was required to answer some comprehension questions. The posttest and Myers-Briggs Type Indicator were administered after the treatment. Results revealed that the intentional group outperformed the incidental one. The only personality dimension found to influence vocabulary learning was extroversion/introversion. It can be suggested that the intention to learn can encourage L2 learners to attend to the meanings of the words. Moreover, the introverts were believed to have higher concentration and problem-solving ability. Results can help L2 teachers reach a better understanding of vocabulary learning. Also, an awareness of L2 learners� individual differences can help teachers adjust their classes and adopt their materials accordingly.Keywords: incidental vocabulary learning; intentional vocabulary learning; personality types.

  We use a modified dictator experiment to examine subjects’ willingness to pay for a ‘fair’ outcome and how this is influenced by social efficiency.  We find that subjects exhibit a downward-sloping demand for the fair outcome that increases when the fair outcome is socially efficient and decreases with the experimental stakes.  Because a subject’s relative emphasis on payoff maximization, fairness and social efficiency may likely be related to personality type, we add controls for personality preferences as measured by the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).  This also allows for a more precise examination of gender effects.  We find that personality preferences are important determinants of decision making.  Controlling for personality preferences, we find that women are more likely to choose the fair outcome then men.  This effect is particularly strong when the unequal payoff outcome favors the (passive) responder.
