ABSTRACT Aim The purpose of this study was to determine the most common personality type among dentists in seven selected clinical dentistry specialties using the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and to compare between these different types of personalities. Materials and methods A survey containing the MBTI and demographic and practice questions was used to assess the personality styles of 243 dental specialists in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The survey results were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results The results of the MBTI for 243 specialist dentists revealed, generally, a higher percentage of scoring for introversion (I) with an average of 65% than extroversion (E). The study identified 10 common personality types among these specialists: ISTJ, ISFJ, INFJ, ISTP, INFP, INTP, ENFP, ENTP, ENFJ, and ENTJ (extraversion–introversion (E–I), sensing–intuition (S–N), thinking–feeling (T–F), and judging–perception (J–P)). The dominant personality type in all seven clinical specialties in dentistry was ISTJ, with an average of 54%. Conclusion The personality types showed variation among the seven clinical dentistry specialties. However, among these seven clinician's specialties in dentistry, more than 50% of the individuals shared one common type of personality (ISTJ). Clinical significance The identification of the personality type might help in their association with coworkers, students, and patients as well as knowing the individual preferences toward different specialties in dentistry.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This article was made to identify the personality type of students I teach using the MBTI models. There are 32 standard questions in the questionnaire, and students are asked to choose one of two available answers for each question. Furthermore, students return all questionnaires had been answered, and the researcher calculates and gives the scores to the answers given referring to the four types of the MBTI whether the student is in the category: Extrovert-Introvert, Sensing-Intutive, Thinking-Feeling, and Judging-Perceiving. There are 16 personality types in the MBTI. The question took from the book Richard L Daft. The results show the majority of students is extroversion type in approximately 60.31%, and the rest is introversion type and about 58.78% of students are sensing type.

For years, students, faculty, and, most important, employers, have recognized the need for improved communication skills. The university business communication curriculum is filled with topics that lead to improving communication skills. A per centage of students find some topics to be boring, unimportant, intimidating, and/or nonessential. However, other students find these same topics to be interest ing, significant, challenging, and vital. For example, college students fear giving oral presentations more than writing papers. Could the preference or the abhor rence of various business communication topics be related to personality type? To answer this question, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), combined with a Likert Scale, was used to study the relationship between business communication students' personality types and their preferred topics in business communication.

Abstract Objective This study attempts to use the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) to analyze personality types among current and recent ophthalmology residents. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence rates of each specific personality type in ophthalmology, and whether these changed by level of training, training program, or fellowship selection. The study aimed to evaluate whether certain personality types are more prevalent in ophthalmology as a unique medical specialty. This can help understand specialty choice and potentially predict trends in specialty selection. Study Design After obtaining institutional review board approval from Howard University Hospital, an electronic version of the MBTI questionnaire, form M, was sent to participants. In addition to the questionnaire, participants responded to four questions inquiring about home program, postgraduate training level, subspecialty interest, and work environment (if applicable). The anonymous responses of the surveys were automatically scored on google forms, and the results were analyzed by using StatView statistical analysis. Setting This study was conducted at Howard University, Georgetown University, George Washington University, University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, and Kresge Eye Institute. Participants A total of 66 current residents and recent graduates of five residency programs were involved in this study. Main Outcomes and Measures This study evaluated four-letter personality type from each participant. Results Ophthalmology residents were statistically more likely to be identified in the categories of extroversion (E) than introversion (I) (p = 0.049), thinking (T) than feeling (F) (p = 0.027), and judging (J) than perceiving (P) (p = 0.007), with no statistically significant difference between sensing (S) and intuition (N). ENTP, ESTJ, and ISTJ were the most common personality types, each comprising 13.6% of the sample population. The ratio of J:P was found to increase as training level increased, beginning with postgraduate 2nd year until graduate level. Conclusion Certain personality types are more common among ophthalmology residents in our cohort from five different training programs. It is possible that individual types change over the course of residency training and career. Understanding that these findings exist can be used as a baseline for future research in terms of potential predictors for applicants, of resident knowledge base, and personality changes over the course of one's training.

To measure the relations of personality type, self-esteem, and job satisfaction 102 managers in New York were given a battery of tests, including the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Regression analysis was conducted to determine the similarity or congruence of each subject's personality type with what had been determined to be the organizational norm for each organization in the study. Subjects with personality types most similar to the organizational norm had higher self-esteem and lower turnover rates. No correlation was found with personality type congruence and job satisfaction.
