This study investigated the relationship between two of the most widely used personality measures, the Revised NEO Personality Inventory and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. A total of 900 participants completed the NEO PI-R and the MBTI. Correlational analysis of the personality measures showed that NEO PI-R Extraversion was correlated with MBTI Extraversion-Introversion, Openness was correlated with Sensing-Intuition, Agreeableness with Thinking-Feeling and Conscientiousness with Judging-Perceiving, replicating the findings of McCrae and Costa (1989).

The study examined the relationship between scores on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and on the NEO Personality Inventory by administering these measures to 161 women and 48 men in introductory psychology. Notable correlations were found for MBTI Introversion and Extraversion with NEO-PI Extraversion (– .58 and .58 for men, – .68 and .68 for women), MBTI Sensation and Intuition with NEO-PI Openness (– .60 and .71 for men, – .70 and .65 for women), MBTI Thinking and Feeling with NEO-PI Agreeableness (– .60 and .52 for men, – .41 and .39 for women), and MBTI Judging and Perceiving with NEO-PI Conscientiousness (.56 and – .62 for men, .49 and – .50 for women). These findings are consistent with McCrae and Costa (1989). Implications for interpretation of the scores are discussed.

Using data obtained from 48 male and 161 female undergraduate students in psychology, correlations between scores on the scales of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the facets of the Neuroticism, Extraversion, and Openness domains of the NEO Personality Inventory were low to moderate.

The aim of the present study was to investigate to what extent personality, gender, and age can predict psychometric intelligence scores. A total of 900 participants completed the Watson–Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal Test, the Graduate Managerial Assessment: Abstract, the Revised NEO Personality Inventory, and the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator. Intelligence was found to be most consistently predicted by high Openness and low Neuroticism, which has been repeatedly reported in the past (Ackerman & Heggestad, 1997; Kyllonen, 1997), as well as by low Extraversion and low Conscientiousness, which has also been previously reported (Furnham, Chamorro‐Premuzic, & Moutafi, under review). Of the demographic factors, there were no gender differences with respect to general intelligence (g), but age was found to be a significant negative predictor of g, in line with previous findings (Matthews, Davies, Westerman, & Stammers, 2000).

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.

The purpose of this paper was to provide information which might prove useful in the interpretation of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. A sample of 209 students provided self-descriptions from the adjectives on the Adjective Check List and took the Myers-Briggs. On the basis of Myers-Briggs scores the sample was divided by sex into groups of extraverts and introverts, sensing and intuitive, thinking and feeling, and judging and perceiving types. Adjectives characteristic of males and females in each group were derived by means of chi-square.

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is a self-report inventory which is intended to measure four variables stemming from the Jungian personality typology: extraversion-introversion, sensation-intuition, thinking-feeling, and judging-perceiving. The construct validity of each of its scales was assessed in a series of studies which investigated the scales' correlations with ability, interest, and personality scales and differences on the scales between the sexes and between students in different high school programs. The findings suggest that the Sensation-Intuition and Thinking-Feeling scales may reflect restricted aspects of the dimensions that they are intended to represent, and the Extraversion-introversion and Judging-Perceiving scales may reflect something quite different from their postulated dimensions.

A sample of 108 women incarcerated in a state prison who volunteered to participate in an employment seminar were given the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Comparison of the distribution of types here and in Myers and McCauiley's 1985 sample using a Selection Ratio Type Table for analysis indicated an overrepresentauon of ISTJ, ISFJ, and ISTP. The ESFP and ESFJ types were underrepresented. Further analysis of the types and the relationship to criminal offense was not significant. Results are compared with those of Lippin from 1990.
