A quaternary model of temperament constructed from orthogonal axes defined by Extraversion–Introversion and Thinking–Feeling resulted in four groups: Introverted Thinking, Introverted Feeling, Extraverted Thinking, and Extraverted Feeling, Hypothesized relationships between quaternary groups and defense cluster preferences were tested by giving 158 female college students the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Defense Mechanisms Inventory. There was little support for hypothesized relationships between the quaternary model and defense preferences. The only hypothesized significant group difference showed the Extraverted Feeling group recording a greater preference for the Reversal defense cluster than the Introverted Feeling group.

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).

Present Pilot Study

The present pilot study examined psychosexual fixations and defense mechanisms in a sample of young Japanese women. The Lexical Rorschach count and the Defense Mechanisms Inventory were administered to 24 female college students. Sadism on the Lexical Rorschach count was positively correlated with Reversal of Affect. Phallic fixation on the Lexical Rorschach count was positively correlated with Projection. Psychoanalytic hypotheses about the associations between psychosexual fixations and defense mechanisms were partially confirmed.

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.

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.

Myers Briggs

Male ( N = 70) and female ( N = 365) groups of upper division college students who were preparing to teach completed the MBTI. For the men a significant correlation between EI and TF was found, which is not consonant with previously reported statements of the independence of the EI scale. Results of comparisons of male extroverts vs male introverts and female extroverts vs female introverts using the MBTI scores as dependent variables are summarized.

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.
