The cognitive science paradigm, with its computational and information processing models of the human mind, dominates much of current accounting information systems (AIS) research. While these models aid our understanding of cognition, it is unclear how much of the mind they explain. Personality type theory (PTT) is one supplement to cognitive science. PTT is especially useful for AIS researchers because an extensively tested and validated psychometric instrument based on PTT, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), is available for use in practice and research. We provide an overview of PTT and the MBTI and discuss how AIS researchers can use PTT to complement and extend current research initiatives. We highlight opportunities for PTT-based AIS research by posing research questions, the investigation of which contributes to the AIS literature.

The Relationship

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.

In this study the question, “Are theoretical and methodological orientation an expression of psychology majors' personalities?” was asked. To answer this question, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Theoretical Orientation Survey were given to 181 junior and senior psychology majors. It was found that “objectively oriented psychology majors” tended to score high on Sensing on the Myers-Briggs, while “subjectively oriented psychology majors” tended to score high on Intuition.

Vital Factor

Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a collection of techniques for personality development. Meta programmes, which are habitual ways of inputting, sorting and filtering the information found in the world around us, are a vital factor in NLP. Differences in meta programmes result in significant differences in behaviour from one person to another. Personality types can be recognized through utilizing and analysing meta programmes. There are different methods to predict personality types based on meta programmes. The Myers–Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI) is currently considered as one of the most popular and reliable methods. In this study, a new machine learning method has been developed for personality type prediction based on the MBTI. The performance of the new methodology presented in this study has been compared to other existing methods and the results show better accuracy and reliability. The results of this study can assist NLP practitioners and psychologists in regards to identification of personality types and associated cognitive processes.

This article was made to identify the personality type of students I teach using the MBTI models. There are 32 standard questions in the questionnaire, and students are asked to choose one of two available answers for each question. Furthermore, students return all questionnaires had been answered, and the researcher calculates and gives the scores to the answers given referring to the four types of the MBTI whether the student is in the category: Extrovert-Introvert, Sensing-Intutive, Thinking-Feeling, and Judging-Perceiving. There are 16 personality types in the MBTI. The question took from the book Richard L Daft. The results show the majority of students is extroversion type in approximately 60.31%, and the rest is introversion type and about 58.78% of students are sensing type.
