Personality Typology

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.

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.

The Relationship

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.

Actual Attendance

This study examined whether Jungian personality types, as measured by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, would be related to college students' reported behavior regarding attendance at a sociopolitical event, the Black College Day March. There were two attendance variables: (1) whether subjects planned to attend or not and (2) consistency or inconsistency between subjects' attendance plans and actual attendance, e.g., planned to attend and did vs planned not to attend but did. The personality types compared were extra-verts vs introverts, judgers vs perceivers, sensing judgers vs intuitive perceivers, and intuiting judgers vs sensing perceivers. The results supported each of the hypothesized differences among the personality types with respect to the attendance variables. These data provide further evidence of the construct validity of the Jungian personality 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 Relationship

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).

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.
