The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a well-known personality test that assigns a personality type to a user by using four traits dichotomies. For many years, people have used MBTI as an instrument to develop self-awareness and to guide their personal decisions. Previous researches have good successes in predicting Extraversion-Introversion (E/I), Sensing-Intuition (S/N) and Thinking-Feeling (T/F) dichotomies from textual data but struggled to do so with Judging-Perceiving (J/P) dichotomy. J/P dichotomy in MBTI is a non-separable part of MBTI that have significant inference on human behavior, perception and decision towards their surroundings. It is an assessment on how someone interacts with the world when making decision. This research was set out to evaluate the performance of the individual features and classifiers for J/P dichotomy in personality computing. At the end, data leakage was found in dataset originating from the Personality Forum Café, which was used in recent researches. The results obtained from the previous research on this dataset were suggested to be overly optimistic. Using the same settings, this research managed to outperform previous researches. Five machine learning algorithms were compared, and LightGBM model was recommended for the task of predicting J/P dichotomy in MBTI personality computing.

Lipstick is a lip color which available in many colors. A research said instant valuation of woman personality can be figured by their lipstick color choice. Therefore there is a necessity to use the right lipstick color to obtain a harmony between personality and appearance. This experiment was conducted to give lipstick color recommendation by using K-Nearest Neighbors algorithm, and Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality test instrument. The system was built on Android application. Euclidean distance value is affected by 5 factors which are age, introvert, sensing, thinking, and judging. Lipstick color recommendation is obtained by fetching 7 training data with nearest Euclidean distance when compared to personality test result. The colors used in this experiment are nude, pink, red, orange, and purple. After evaluation, it is obtained the application’s accuracy of 87.38% which considered as good classification, both precision and recall with 75.68% which considered as fair classification. The score for software quality is 79.13% which considered as good quality. Keywords—K-Nearest Neighbors, Data Mining, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator,Recommender System, Lipstick.

Based on data from 343 subjects, results suggest that Thompson's Test of Critical Thinking Skills has reasonable item difficulty and discrimination coefficients and appears to be valid. Construct validity was investigated by administering the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Group Embedded Figures Test. Although conclusions must be considered tentative pending additional study, the results warrant continued inquiry regarding the measure's value.

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) was examined for its utility as a predictor of intellective behaviors. For beginning, intermediate and advanced high school students measures of GPA, IQ, science achievement, and science aptitude were obtained. MBTI subscales were dichotomized and criteria were analyzed relative to the resultant eight groups. MBTI subscales provided evidence that typology may well be a moderating factor in intellective performance. The intuition (S-N) scale provided consistent indication of typological differences moderating performance. MBTI appeared to be more appropriate for heterogeneous groups and lost its discriminatory utility with homogeneous groups.
