137 college students were given the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and O. J. Harvey's This I Believe test for conceptual systems. For each of the four Myers-Briggs scales, the proportion of each type classified in each of the four main conceptual systems was analyzed. It was hypothesized that sensing and intuitive types would be nonrandomly distributed across conceptual systems, such that the lower conceptual systems would contain higher proportions of sensing types while the higher conceptual systems would contain higher proportions of intuitive types. This was confirmed. An additional unhypothesized trend emerged in which feeling types were overrepresented among System I individuals. The main results were interpreted as supporting the construct validity of the Sensing-Intuition scale of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator.

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.

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.

Test-retest reliabilities of continuous scores on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator scales were examined for 64 male and 70 female college students, using an 8-wk. test-retest interval. Reliabilities were generally satisfactory ( rs ranging from .73 to .87) with the exception of scores for males on the Thinking-Feeling scale ( r = .56).

Performance Teams

The formation of high-performance teams has been a constant challenge for organizations, which despite considering human capital as one of the most important resources, it still lacks the means to allow them to have a better understanding of several factors that influence the formation of these teams. In this sense, studies also demonstrate that teamwork has a significant impact on the results presented by organizations, in which human behavior is highlighted as one of the main aspects to be considered in the building of work teams. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator seeks to classify the behavioral preferences of individuals around eight characteristics, which grouped as dichotomies, describe different psychological types. With it, researchers have sought to expand the ability to understand the human factor, using strategies with multiagent systems that, through experiments and simulations, using computer resources, enable the development of artificial agents that simulate human actions. In this work, we present an overview of the research approaches that use MBTI to model agents, aiming at providing a better knowledge of human behavior. Additionally, we make a preliminary discussion of how these results could be explored in order to advance the studies of psychological factors' influence in organizations' work teams formation.

Personality types of 194 managers and college students were assessed using an abbreviated version of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Subjects were presented copies of four job-application formats, each corresponding to one of the four possible combinations of preferences for perception and judgment, and were asked to rank the applications. Significant associations were found between subjects' personality types and their preferences for job-application formats, indicating a possible prescreening phenomenon at the application stage of the recruitment process. Implications for organizational recruiting were discussed.

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.
