The relationship between personality type and leadership focus is examined in this article. Personality type is assessed by means of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), and leadership focus is explored both with participants and their line-managers using a Leadership Focus Questionnaire. Petroleum company mid-level managers form the target population of 220. Three leadership focus hypotheses are tested with 53 respondents, addressing (1) optimising external and internal focus, (2) fit with organisation type, and (3) managing a multiple focus. The Pearson Correlation Coefficient, ANOVA and paired T-tests are applied. Results show that in circumstances associated with change, Feeling and Perceiving types are favoured for managing the stress of competing leadership demands. Line-managers of participants rely more on Intuition while participants prefer Sensing in dealing with external stakeholders.

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.

The Relationship

Examined the relationship between cognitive style and personality type as measured by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. 31 male and 46 female undergraduate students completed the Indicator and several cognitive instruments including a memory scale, measures of cognitive complexity and integration, verbal ability, and selective attention and recall. Correlational analysis showed there to be significant variations in cognitive style with different preferences on the Indicator. Although conclusions can only be tentative, feeling types tended to be better at verbal-based tests, whereas perceiving types tended to be better at tasks requiring cognitive control and attention.

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.

The Stability

This study examined the stability of a college population's modal personality type, and its distribution of personality types, over a decade. This was done cross-sectionally by comparing the Jungian personality types of two female samples from the same urban university whose personality types had been tested 10 to 12 yr. apart with the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. The total sample was 1,764. The results indicated that the slight change in the two samples' modal personality type was artifactual and that there was no statistically significant difference in the distributions of personality types. The findings are discussed in terms of their theoretical and research implications.

The Impact

The purpose of this study was to test the impact of personal factors to auditor’s professional skepticism at Non Big 4 audit firms in East Java. Personal factors which tested in this study were personality type, auditor’s sex, and audit experience. Auditor’s personality types were classified based on Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), audit experience was measured by auditor tenure, and auditor’s professional skepticism was measured by Hurtt (2010) professional skepticism scale. Sample used in this study were auditors at Non Big 4 audit firms in East Java, which selected by easy sampling technique (convenience sampling). Questionnaire was used as research instrument. Datas in this study were analyzed by multiple regression analysis. The results of this study indicate that INFP (introvert, intuition, feeling, perceiving) and ENFJ (extrovert, intuition, feeling, judging) personality type affects auditor’s professional skepticism. This study also found that audit experience affects auditor’s professional skepticism. The more experience an auditor, the higher the professional skepticism. On the other hand, sex differences of auditors at Non Big 4 audit firms in East Java turned out to have no effect on professional skepticism.

Mapping Result

Nowadays, augmented reality is becoming more and more popular because it can help individuals learn about many things, such as buildings, books, historical places, etc. in real time. The Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) test, a questionnaire-based test, is used to determine personality type, which influences perceptions of the world and the ways in which individuals make decisions. This system is based on C.G Jung’s typological theory and was developed by Katherine and Isabel Briggs.     The purpose of this paper is to use the MBTI personality test to define the personality types of users. To accomplish this aim, we used Unity3D, Processing, and Vuforia SDK. First, the processing program was used to produce results from sixteen images and send them to Unity3D. Second, Vuforia SDK was used to recognize masks in real time and map images to the masks. Then, Unity3D displayed the final mapping result.

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.
