The Relationship

The relationship between scores on the Kirton Adaption-Innovation Inventory and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator was examined among United States service-sector managers and compared to results found among British management students with work experience. Managers in the service sector were more innovative than the population in general. Statistically significant positive correlations were found between Kirton's innovation style and the Myers-Briggs intuitive and perceptive dimensions, thereby supporting the British findings. A statistically significant positive correlation was also found between Kirton's innovation style and the Myers-Briggs extraversion and feeling dimensions, in contrast to the British findings.

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.

Styles of Creativity: Test-Score Correlations between Kirton Adaption-Innovation Inventory and Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

A reading of the manual for the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator left it unclear whether it measures, inter alia, level or style of creativity, whereas the Kirton Adaption-Innovation Inventory specifically purports to measure style but not level. Comparison of both manuals and instruments led the authors to the view that there were significant correspondences between the two tests. The present paper reports the results of the use of both Indicator and Inventory with a sample of experienced management students, yielding statistically significant moderate correlations between the Kirton Inventory and two of the four Myers-Briggs dimensions. It seems clear, therefore, that to the extent that the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator measures creativity, it is style rather than level that it is measuring.

Management Students

As more emphasis is placed on groupwork in business environments, management students need to be aware of the psychological underpinnings of communication. They also benefit from understanding how people learn because they are likely to have to incorporate such understanding when, as managers, they implement orga nizational change. Moreover, they have to become life-long learners themselves as they adapt to new business environments. Business communication classes can perform an important role in preparing students to meet these challenges by intro ducing them to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and Kolb's experiential learning cycle.

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.

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).

The Relationship

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.
