The Relationship

This empirical study examined the relationship between Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality types and preferred teaching methods for 507 Saint Joseph’s College of Maine undergraduate students.  The students completed two instruments: the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®, Form M (Myers, McCaulley, Quenk, & Hammer, 1998), and a 27-item scale that measured preferred teaching methods in the classroom. Descriptive and inferential statistics indicated that the five most prominent personality types were ISFJ, ESFJ, ESFP, ENFP, and ISTJ.  Sensing-Feeling (S-F) preference was the most common followed by Sensing-Judging (S-J) preference in the top five personality types. Across all MBTI dichotomies, the students indicated a preference for teaching methods that involved lecturer-student interaction, using some visual tools such as PowerPoint, and demonstrations and practice. The least preferred teaching methods involved unscheduled quizzes, lecture where the professor talks with no visuals, and library research using experiential activities. Significant differences were obtained between the MBTI dichotomies and preferred teaching methods. The results demonstrate the importance of faculty tailoring and adjusting their instruction to accommodate the needs of their students to increase student achievement, motivation, and engagement in their classroom.

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.

Reliability Coefficients

The Personal Style Inventory was designed to assess Jungian personality types. The present study determined its reliability and validity. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator was used as a criterion and the multitrait-multimethod matrix method was used to assess reliability and validity. Reliability coefficients between the opposite sides of each scale were —1.00 and validity coefficients between corresponding scales of the Personal Style Inventory and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator ranged between .52 and .70. The lowest validity coefficients were with Extraversion-Introversion scales. Significant differences between validity coefficients were also found between participants' congruent and incongruent scores on the Extraversion-Introversion and Judgment-Perception scales. The results suggest feasibility of using the Personal Style Inventory to assess Jung's personality 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.

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.

Patient Confidence

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a reliable and valid screening test for describing the natural personality of an individual, especially in the medical field. The indicator gives an individual a four-letter abbreviation summarizing his/her personality characteristics. The categories include: extraverted (E) / introverted (I), sensing (S) / intuition (N), feeling (F) / thinking (T), and perception (P) / judgment (J). The personality types of physicians vary considerably across the medical field. Specific personality types indicated by the Myers-Briggs fit better with certain medical specialties than others. The alignment of physician-patient personalities and its effect on patient confidence and compliance have potential importance in the management of some disorders, such as, for example, substance abuse. This review will examine the alignment of physician-patient personalities and its effect on patient confidence and treatment outcomes.
