This study examined the overlap and correlations among two well-known personality measures (NEOPI–R; Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, MBTI) and two widely used intelligence tests (the Graduate Management Assessment (GMA), Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal (WGCTA)). The GMA measures both fluid intelligence (Gf) and crystallized intelligence (Gc), whereas WGCTA mainly assess Gc. A total of ov...

This article outlines the ongoing work in relation to personality and programming ability. Previous work by the author focussed on code review and personality, discovering that certain personality factors were correlated with performance on a code review task. The current work is more concerned with code comprehension ability. In addition to the personality factors mentioned above, experience, ...

An experiment was undertaken to study the relationship between persons’ Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality and the computing tasks. For the experiment, a group of computing majors, 68 undergraduate students, (40 underclassmen and 28 upperclassmen) and 60 graduate students pursuing masters degrees have participated. The result shows that the most common MBTI types among the students ...

The Myers-Briggs type indicator (MBTI) was given to 163 students in an undergraduate Human Physiology course at a large state university. Selected MBTI personality types were compared for achievement in the course using a t test to compare total points earned. High grades were earned by students stronger in the traits of introversion (I) and judgment (J), whereas the extraverted (E) and percept...

A major restructuring of the Sophomore level “Introduction to Design Theory” course at the United States Air Force Academy has recently been completed. The most significant aspect of this restructuring is the addition of a redesign component to the course. In order to gauge the effectiveness of this restructuring, a questionnaire was developed to determine student rating of the course content l...

This study evaluated the role of personality in the short-term outcome of alcohol/substance-use disorder patients. Detoxifying alcohol/substance-use disorder patients were administered the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), the Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire (TPQ), the Michigan Alcohol Screening Test (MAST), the CAGE Questionnaire, and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). These patie...

The subtilisin inhibitor (MBSI-A) from the mung bean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) seed has been purified to homogeneity. MBSI-A consists of a single polypeptide chain of 119 residues, with a high content of glutamic acid/glutamine, aspartic acid/asparagine, valine, threonine, and proline (19, 12, 10, 9, and 8 residue percent, respectively). MBSI-A is a potent inhibitor of subtilisin Carlsberg, ...

We propose a computable Galois-connection between Myers-Briggs’ Type Indicators (MBTIs), the most widely-used personality measure for non-psychiatric populations (based on C.G. Jung’s personality types), and Szondi’s personality profiles (SPPs), a less well-known but, as we show, finer personality measure for psychiatric as well as non-psychiatric populations (conceived as a unification of the ...

We present an investigation into the effects that player personality can have on team performance in games that have been designed to have a social purpose (‘‘serious games’’), such as games intended to enhance more consideration for the environment and for sustainable energy usage. The work involves multi-agent-based model of team play, where individual player personalities are characterized b...

In this paper, the properties of Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and its application to electrical engineering education are addressed. In recent years, many engineering schools witnessed a much more diverse cohort of engineering students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The different levels of performance of the students were sometimes attributed to factors such as cognitive ability ...
