Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to provide empirical data that reports the association between students? personality type preferences as understood by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality profile and their achievement and perception of satisfaction in web-based learning environments. Data were collected from two graduate level courses offered entirely online using the WebCT learning management system during one semester. The data of interest were extracted from the course information; MBTI profile (learning style), numeric end of course grade (performance), course evaluation (used for satisfaction indicator). The demographic subject profile information such as gender, ethnicity, and age were extracted from the MBTI profile database collection. Data analysis and generation were done using SAS software. For the given sample, the data show the MBTI scale preference for Thinking-Feeling make a statistically significant difference in the satisfaction ratings of Learner-to-Learner and Learner-to-Content interactions within Web-based instructed (WBI) courses. Students with MBTI preference for Feeling rated their satisfaction with Learner-to-Learner and Learner-to-Content interactions in the WBI courses higher than those with Thinking preference. Satisfaction with Learner-to-Instructor interaction was not related to MBTI preference, but was statistically significantly different by age range. MBTI preference, age and gender did not make a difference in achievement as measured by end of course grade in the WBI courses. These findings suggests Web-based instruction should ensure effective methods and strategies are used to accommodate student learning preference with regard to course interactions.

Full textAbstract:
This is a case study of a popular shōnen manga, My Hero Academia, written andillustrated by Kōhei Horikoshi. The study’s aim is to determine the personality typesof five characters, while utilizing the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. The secondaryaim is finding out which details help in the MBTI analysis and which do not. Thethird aim is to look into what are the difficulties of executing this kind of study. Theinitial focus of the analysis was the characters’ actions, dialogue, body language,facial expressions, use of role language and how the manga artist utilizes theJapanese scripture. The final results show that the characters are INFJ, ENTP, ENFP,INTJ and ESTJ types, and that the most helpful methods are to look at acombination of the characters’ actions, speech, body language, behavior, andexpressions. In addition, the method of analysis occasionally depends on thecharacter in question. While the scripture does not help in gaining the results, thechoice of language for the characters gives additional affirmation for the resultsbut does not work by itself to affirm any MBTI types. The main challenge is decidingwhich of the MBTI type pair polarities has more value to the character’s personalityto become the preference.

The project describes the development and standardization of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator into the Greek language. Statistical properties of the Greek version were comparable to those of the original American version providing evidence of its adequacy as a psychometric tool. The comparison of the distribution of types of Greek university students (N = 946) with that of French Canadians, and Americans showed a preference for "thinking" and "perceiving". Further, gender associated preferences for thinking and feeling evident in the American and French Canadian norms were also present in the Greek data.

Full textAbstract:
Altruism is loosely defined as a desire to help others as well as acts and behaviors towards that end, particularly when no expectation of personal gain or reward exists (Batson, Fultz, Schoenrade & Paduano, 1987). It seems likely that individuals who choose to pursue acareer in counseling might be doing so out of some altruistic interest; in other words a desire to come to the aid of others in distress. It has been noted as well that some individuals may enter the counseling profession based more on self-interest; for example, as "wounded healers" hoping to work on personal issues (Wheeler, 2002). Some researchers (Shapiro &Gabbard, 1996) hypothesize that overstated altruism may lead to burn-out and fatigue among some counselors whereas those who have limited altruism may have difficulties empathizing with clients. Despite the apparent relevance of altruism to counseling as a profession, very few studies have investigated the level of altruism among those in the field. The primary purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between altruism and personality variables in beginning counseling students. It is currently unclear to what extent altruism is a state (situational) vs. a trait (inherent). Grasping a greater sense of what constitutes altruistic behavior among beginning counseling students may benefit researchers in understanding the potential difficulties Shapiro & Gabbard (1996) suggest; i.e., burn-out, limited empathy or even self-gratification. The population in this study was 87 students entering a Master's degree in Counselor Education at a large, public institution in the Southeastern Unites States. The subjects completed the following assessments at orientation to their program: The Robinson-Heintzelman Inventory (an instrument designed to study altruism vs. self-interest in counselor education students), the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation-Behavior (FIRO-B). It was hypothesized that higher scores on altruism would correlate with the intuitive and feeling dimensions of the MBTI and low scores on wanted inclusion, wanted affection and expressed control on the FIRO-B. The hypotheses were not supported in this study; the only finding of statistical significance was the correlation between the thinking dimension of the MBTI and the total score on the RHI. Suggestions for future research are discussed.Ph.D.

Resumo: O Ensino a Distância (EAD) tem tido grande importância para muitas empresas e instituições de ensino do mundo todo. No entanto, esta fonna de ensino tem sido muito questionada, principalmente pela carência de estratégias pedagógicas. Dentre várias abordagens de EAD existentes, o sistema tutor inteligente (STI) apresenta uma arquitetura adequada para compor e adotar estratégias de ensino segundo o perfil de cada aluno. No entanto, sua construção ainda apresenta um custo elevado, exigindo STI's diferentes para domínios diferentes. Este trabalho propõe a construção de um sistema de auxílio ao professor no ensinoaprendizado extra-classe de múltiplos domínios (sem a necessidade de reconstrução do sistema) que realize uma avaliação emocional do aluno e adote estratégias de ensino dinamicamente segundo seu perfil. Para tanto, inicialmente, um questionário MBTI@ _ respondido pelos alunos para identificação de suas preferências e uma estratégia é composta pelas táticas de ensino mais adequadas a essas preferências. Embora o sistema proponha um roteiro de estudo adequado a cada aluno, este é livre para estudar o quê e como quiser. A cada visita ao sistema, um algoritmo faz a reconstrução dinâmica deste roteiro de acordo com o comportamento e perfil do aluno. O protótipo deste sistema intitulado Sócrates foi construído para ensino do tópico de recursão em programação de computadores e testado por alunos de graduação da UNICAMP. Embora este seja apenas um tópico, o SócrateS pode gerenciar diversos tópicos de várias disciplinas de um ou mais cursos. Como resultado do experimento realizado, mais de 96% dos alunos consideraram importante o uso das várias táticas de ensino. A facilidade de aprender e relembrar como usar o sistema, bem como a sua utilidade de aplicação em outras disciplinas foram consideradas excelentes; já a velocidade de execução das tarefas e a capacidade de evitar que o usuário cometa erros foram avaliadas com bons resultados. Por fim, a análise do comportamento destes alunos revelou que a implementação da adoção dinâmica de estratégias de ensino se adaptou melhor ao perfil deles do que uma abordagem estática. Embora as análises feitas indiquem um sucesso da proposta dinâmica onde o roteiro de estudo sugerido precisava ser alterado em menos de um 1
Abstract: Distance Learning achieved a great importance for most corporations, including schools, universities and many other teaching institutes around the world. However, this importance has been discussed considering its lack on pedagogical strategies. Among several approaches, the intelligent tutoring system (ITS) presents an appropriate architecture to compound and adopt teaching strategies according to each student's profile. Anyway, its construction requires a high cost development, demanding different ITS's for different domains. " This work evokes the construction of a system to support the teacher in the off-line education of multiple domains (without the need of the system rebuilding), which performs the student emotional evaluation and adopts teaching strategies dynamically according to his profile. For doing so, initially, the student answers a MBTI@ questionnaire to help the system identify his preferences, allowing the building of a strategy compounded of teaching tactics suited to them. Although the system proposes a study guide adequate to each student, he is able to study what and in the way he wants. Each time he visits the system, an algorithm makes the dynamic reconstruction of the study guide according to the student's behavior and profile. The system prototype, called Socrates, was built for the teaching of recursion in computers programming, being tested by undergraduate students of UNICAMP. Although this was just one topic, Socrates can manage several topics of multiple course disciplines. As a result of the experiment taken, more than 96% of the students considered important the use of many teaching tactics. The system's easy of learn, memorability and utility to use in other disciplines were also considered excellent and it's efliciency and safety were evaluated with good results. Finally, the analyze of the student's behavior revealed that the implementation of the dynamic teaching strategy adoption had a better adaptation to their profile than a static approach could have. Despite the analyzes done indicate a success of the dynamic approach where the study guide suggested had to change in less than 1

Full textAbstract:
This study attempted to determine if there is a relationship between user's psychological personality types, measured by the Myers Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) and distinct measures of usability measured by the Software Usability Measurement Inventory (SUMI). The study was expected to provide an answer to the following basic research question: When interacting with a typical user interface, do different users perceive usability differently? Specific hypotheses were formulated to answer this research question. Hypotheses were tested to determine if there was any statistically significant relationship between specific MBTI® personality types and individual measure of usability as measured by the SUMI.
Each hypothesis was tested using ANOVA analysis in two ways. The 16 MBTI® types were condensed together using two letters of the full MBTI® type. First, the data was grouped by MBTI® function pair: STs, SFs, NFs and NTs, then by Keirsey temperament: SJs, SPs, NFs and NTs. By grouping data, the effects of small numbers of certain individual types from the sample should be minimized.
When grouping by MBTI® function pair statistical analysis indicated all six hypotheses were supported, indicating no significant relationship between personality type as measured by the MBTI®, and usability as measured by the SUMI in this sample. When grouping by Keirsey temperament, statistical analysis indicated five hypotheses were supported, indicating no significant relationship between personality type as measured by the MBTI®, and usability as measured by the SUMI in this sample. Data analysis showed a significant relation between MBTI® personality type and the SUMI sub-scale of Helpfulness in this sample.
Since only a limited relationship was found between MBTI® types and SUMI usability scales, developers may need to rethink the process of including individual differences as a component of interface design, at least based on personality. However, this study used only one measure of personality- the MBTI®. Different personality measures could offer different results. Finally, this research provided another analysis of how the typical computer user envisions usability and provides a basic summary of usability scales by personality MBTI® types.

The purpose of this study was to identify the perceived impact of Myers-Briggs Test Indicator (MBTI) professional development on principal and assistant principal educational leadership practices in one school division in Virginia. The researcher collected and analyzed data to determine self-reported leadership changes that came as a result of school-system led professional development involving the Myers-Briggs Test Indicator. The results of these findings could help determine if school leaders and school systems would benefit from Myers-Briggs professional development. The findings were as follows: a) interview participants indicated only limited benefits of the MBTI training b) some participants identified self-awareness as a valuable leadership action related to the personality disposition training; c) some participants identified that they changed how they approached decisions when working with individuals with similar or different personality preferences and, d) participants indicated interest in additional MBTI training. Based on these findings, it is reasonable to conclude MBTI could be considered as a personality disposition tool in the context of comparing educational leadership personality preferences and understanding certain aspects of the decision-making process. The majority of the participants also recommended that such professional development be extended with additional sessions that allow for exploration and learning in specific school and team settings.Doctor of Education
The purpose of this study was to identify the perceived impact of Myers-Briggs Test Indicator (MBTI) professional development on principal and assistant principal educational leadership practices in one school division in Virginia. The Myers Briggs Test Indicator (MBTI) was used as a framework for the professional development. The MBTI is an introspective self-report questionnaire indicating differing psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions. The training was led by school division staff that had been certified to use the MBTI materials. The researcher interviewed nine school leaders from the school division located in the southeastern region of Virginia. The majority of participants identified that the training led to increased self-awareness and a change in how they viewed the decision-making process as it related to personality preferences. Based on the study findings, it is reasonable to conclude that MBTI could be considered as a professional development tool. The majority of the participants also recommended that such professional development be extended with additional sessions that allow for exploration and learning in specific school and team settings.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine whether a relationship exists between the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) of first-term Air Force medical service corps (MSC) officers and their initial occupational placement matches (OCUPLACE MATCH), and, if so, whether this could it predict job satisfaction. The population consisted of 116 first-term Air Force MSC officers already assigned and working at their initial occupational placement. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS®) computer software program was used for the statistical computation. Several techniques were used, including, frequency distribution, the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, and regression analyses, among others. Results showed a statistical significant correlation between the MBTI type of the first-term MSC officer matches and their initial occupational placement (OCUPLACE MATCH, r = .440, p < .01). Furthermore, results of a regression analysis showed no statistical significance for predication on job satisfaction (r = 492, F = .887, p < .05). Based on this study, the Air Force Personnel Center can match first-term MSC officers' personality type to an initial occupation placement; however, based on the second part of the hypothesis, prediction of job satisfaction may not be yield on less other aspects of the group are considered such as time in service, source of recruitment, initial occupation's location, etc.

Denna undersökning ställer spelarketypsmodellen BrainHex under samma kritik som dess grundmodell MBTI (Myers-Briggs type indicator 1962). Kritiken är främst att människan är för komplex för att kategoriseras i dikotomiska grupper samt att kategorin de tilldelas anses vara absolut och inte en preferens. Baserat på ovan togs det fram en frågeställning som lyder: ”Vad för påverkan gör en tilldelad BrainHex-typ med en spelares beslutsfattande av valbara belöningar?”. Belöningar valdes som representativt medium för att spegla arketypspreferenser. Totalt 15 spelvana deltagare samlades. Deltagarna ställs inför tre val under spelomgången. Varje val är antingen av arketypen Conqueror eller Seeker. 10 av 15 deltagare fick dessa två arketyper tilldelade för att se om de spelar utefter en självuppfyllande profetia eller bryter sig loss. Resterande användes som kontrollgrupp och fick sina faktiska arketyper. Efter testet genomförts visar sig uppdragsvalen vara något viktade. Däremot så resulterar allt i en indikation till tendens att deltagare följer sina tilldelade arketyper

Full textAbstract:
A quasi-experimental study was implemented to investigate student achievement, time-on-task, and attitude toward microcomputer instruction in relation to the Meyers-Briggs psychological subgroup types of IN, EN, IS, and ES as they interact simultaneously. A pretest-posttest nonrandomized control-group design study comprised of 52 control group subjects and 39 experimental group subjects was carried out during four separate quarters of instruction in a college introductory genetics course during a unit on Mendelian genetics. The control group was instructed with a conventional lecture, discussion, and laboratory method that was based on identified conceptual blocks that are guided by clearly defined learning objectives. The experimental group was taught using the same conceptual blocks and learning objectives, but this group's instruction emphasized the supplementary use of microcomputers to generate genetic cross data with a software program called CATLAB in place of actual fruit fly crosses. Additionally, the experimental group used a microcomputer tutorial programmed by the investigator from a Mendelian genetic programmed instruction book used regularly in the course. This investigator taught both groups throughout the study of Mendelian genetics.Psychological type equivalency between the two groups was established through the use of computer software called the Selection Ratio Type Table PC program (SRTT). No significant differences were identified between the control and experimental group with respect to the Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator (Form G) testing either in relation to the sixteen main classes or to their subgroupings.A MANOVA statistical analysis was carried out on the data and was performed to test for significant differences between vectors of means for the three dependent measures of time-on-task, posttest achievement, and attitudes toward the instruction given with microcomputers. There was no significant difference between the two treatments toward the instruction given with regard to time-on-task, achievement, and attitude, when considered simultaneously, F(3,72) = 2.58 and p < .06. Further, when the MBTI subgroups of IN, EN, IS, and ES were considered simultaneously in relation to the three dependent measures as vectors of means, no significant differences toward the instruction given were discovered among the types in the treatment samples, F(9,175) = 1.47 and p < .16.Department of Biology

Full textAbstract:
The general purpose of this study is to examine the effects of socialization background and cognitive style on individuals' patterns of behavior. The more specific purpose is to integrate the individual differences factor using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator with Meadian Theory of Socialization in order to explore the ways in which a group of incarcerated individuals with prior felony and misdemeanor convictions and a group of college students are different regarding their different socialization background and cognitive styles. Data for this study were collected from a university and a county jail in Texas. During the process of data collection, two questionnaires consisting of 117 items were used to measure individual characteristics and elements of socialization background. This study is organized into four different chapters. Chapter I involves a detailed review of related literature, the purpose of the study, stated hypotheses, significance of the study, and limitations. Chapter II discusses methodological procedures and Chapter III presents the findings of the study. The last chapter includes a detailed conclusion and practical implications of the study. The findings in this study indicated that the group of incarcerated individuals and the group of college students are significantly different in terms of their different individual characteristics and socialization backgrounds. However, it was found that socialization background has the most significant effects on patterns of behavior among the two groups under study. It was concluded that while accepting the crucial importance of socialization factors, specific psychological characteristics of people also need to be integrated into sociological studies concerning human behavior for the better understanding of different groups and individuals in society.

Jag har haft möjlighet att följa en HR- konsults (Human Resources) arbete med grupp långtidssjukskrivna under en bedömning av arbetsförmåga på ett stort företag i västra Skåne. Under dessa arbetstillfällen har gruppdeltagarna fått göra ett antal tester. Testerna har varit intresse och yrkestester samt personlighetstest. Då jag tidigare själv haft möjlighet att göra dessa tester har jag blivit nyfiken på andras upplevelser av att göra tester. Mitt syfte med detta examensarbete är att ta reda på en grupp långtidssjukskrivnas attityder till test och vilken betydelse dessa kan ha för individens återgång till arbete eller studier. Jag vill ta reda på om testresultaten stämmer överens med den testades egen bild av sig själv, gällande egenskaper, intressen och personlighet. Jag vill också ta reda på om testernas resultat stämmer överens med deltagarnas egen bild av tänkbar studie alternativt yrkesframtid, samt om deltagarna själva anser att de har haft någon hjälp av testerna. Resultatet på detta arbete har arbetats fram genom kvalitativa metoder så som intervjuer med deltagarna. Huvudresultatet på min studie har visat att deltagarnas egna bilder av sig själva stämmer överens med testresultaten – om deltagarna hade varit friska. Eftersom deltagarna nu inte är friska så ser de sina testresultat som relativt oanvändbara. Det har ändå visat sig att deltagarna har haft positiva upplevelser av att göra dessa tester då det upplevts stärkt deras självbild.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to identify and explore personality characteristics of juvenile delinquents, to compare those characteristics with those of the general population, and determine if there are significant differences, as measured by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), between the personality characteristics of juvenile delinquents and the general population. Juvenile delinquents who were adjudicated into a Texas Youth Commission facility in North Texas were subjects for this study. Participants included 186 males who ranged in age from 14 years to 20 years. Statistical analyses were performed for each of the research questions. When comparing MBTI scores of juvenile delinquents to the general population, significant differences were found on the dichotomous scales, temperaments, function pairs, and types. All type preferences are represented within the juvenile delinquent population. The MBTI can be useful in responding to the education and rehabilitation needs of juvenile delinquents. Knowledge of personality type can help caregivers meet the needs of juvenile delinquents. Understanding personality type preference can serve to provide a deeper understanding of the behaviors that lead to adjudication of juvenile delinquents. A discovery of the types of adolescents who are adjudicated could lead to preventive measures, early detection, and early intervention for students at risk of becoming juvenile delinquents.

La educación en la actualidad es sin duda una tarea importante tanto para la superación del hombre como para el desarrollo de nuestro país, y es responsabilidad de las autoridades, padres de familia y docentes, el encausar a los jóvenes hacia ella.
De acuerdo a la Teoría Tipológica de Jung, cada uno de nosotros nacemos con una predisposición por ciertas preferencias, que se basan en los juicios y la percepción de cada ser humano. Existen dieciséis tipos posibles de personalidad viniendo desde la combinaciones de cuatro bipolares dimensiones: Extroversión vs Introversión, Sensación vs Intuición; Razón vs Emoción; Juicio vs Percepción.
Esta investigación fue diseñada para conocer los estilos de aprendizaje, con base a la personalidad de los estudiantes, por ser un tema poco abordado en nuestro medio y representar un excelente campo de intervención para el psicólogo cuyo desempeño profesional se lleva a cabo en el área educativa, ya que a través de la aplicación del instrumento utilizado, es posible realizar un diagnóstico, que indique cuáles serán las estrategias más adecuadas, para mejorar el aprendizaje en los alumnos.

Full textAbstract:
What is innovation in ship design? Is it a capability that is inherent in all naval architects? Is it the result of the application of a certain set of tools, or of operation within a certain organizational structure? Can innovation be taught?
Innovation is a creative act that results in a new and game-changing product. The emergence of an innovative product creates an asymmetric market. The emergence of an innovative weapon creates an asymmetric battlefield. It is clearly in the economic and military interest of the United States to be able to develop and deploy innovative products, including innovative ships.
But the process of ship design is usually one of incremental development and slow evolution. Engineers are taught to develop their product by paying close attention to previous developments. This approach is viewed by some people as anti-innovative. And yet the author has made a career of innovation in ship design. How has this been possible?
This dissertation will answer the four questions posed above. It will show what innovation in ship design is, and where innovative naval architecture lies in the taxonomy of human creative endeavor. It will then describe those human attributes which have been found to be essential to successful innovation. It will also describe some of the many tools that innovators use. Some of those tools are used unconsciously. Some of those tools are formal products supported by research institutes and teaching academies.
Finally, given the fact that innovation in ship design is a component of engineering – which is a subject taught in Universities – and that it is facilitated by the use of tools – and tool use can be taught – the author will conclude that innovation itself can be taught.
Whether it can be mastered will depend upon the individual, just as with most other creative skills.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between learning styles and the choice of learning environment for Hospitality and Tourism undergraduate students. An anonymous two-part survey was sent to the instructors of Introduction to Hospitality and Tourism Management courses (both online and face-to-face) in four schools in the state of Florida. The survey was designed to gather information related to the following three research questions related to MBTI profiles for undergraduate students in attempt to identify differences between students enrolled in online classes and those in face-to-face classes. In order to determine the probability of predicting course choice behavior of undergraduate Hospitality and Tourism students, the following factors were controlled in this research: age; gender; enrollment status; employment status; university; whether they had taken an online course previously in high school, college, or other places; how many online courses they previously took; and who helped them select the delivery mode of their courses.
There were 323 usable responses, which included a majority of the most common types as ESTJ. When the differences between online and face-to-face course students were analyzed through chi-square tests, the results showed significant differences between two groups for all four profiles. Overall, the most common profile for face-to-face students was ESTJ, while the most common profile for online students were ISTP. In order to examine the unique contribution of learning styles on Hospitality and Tourism students’ course choice, a hierarchical logistic regression model was used. The results of the model indicated that only profile one (P1) and profile four (P4) were significant predictors among the four profiles, along with the total number of online courses previously taken.
The conclusions suggested that by looking at P1, P4, and toc1, with a 95% confidence level, the probability of students choosing face-to-face classes can be predicted if the students are extrovert, judging, and previously had taken less than five online courses. If learning styles can be determined ahead of time, students can choose appropriate courses, instructors can develop teaching strategies that will match students’ desirable learning styles, and the number of face-to-face and online courses can be adjusted in each program to offer an appropriate number of courses each semester.

Full textAbstract:
An individual’s personality traits and characteristics have been found to have an important relationship with health behaviors. However, there has been minimal research conducted with personality types. The purpose of the study was to examine the predictive relationship among MBTI® personality preferences and types and both selected health-promoting and selected risk-taking behaviors among residential college students. Furthermore, several potential mediating demographic variables were added to the study to determine their predictive relationship and if they should be entered into a model for the selected health behaviors.
The study used a cross-sectional design with two self-report instruments and demographic questionnaire. The two self-report instruments were the MBTI® and the HPLP II. A systematic random sample was employed to obtain the sample of full-time residential college students. A total of 406 subjects voluntarily completed the instruments. The subjects ranged in age from 18 to 28 with 98.3% reporting traditional college age. Descriptive and inferential statistics with an alpha level of .05 were used for data analysis.
The results revealed that models incorporating MBTI® personality preferences and types had a significant predictive relationship with nutrition, interpersonal relations, spiritual growth, physical activity, aggregate health-promoting lifestyle, alcohol use, binge drinking, and heavy drinking. However, the variance explained by the models for each behavior was consistently low with the one exception of interpersonal relations. Health-responsibility, stress management, and cigarette smoking could not be predicted by models integrating MBTI® personality preferences and types. Nonetheless, specific personality preferences and types did have a significant relationship with health-responsibility, stress management, and cigarette smoking.
In conclusion, MBTI® personality preferences and types provided valuable insight into explaining several of the selected health behaviors. The results revealed personality preferences and type can be useful in health research. Given the popularity of the MBTI®, future research incorporating the MBTI® and various health behaviors may offer valuable information used by health professionals and counselors to modify health behaviors.

Full textAbstract:
This study was designed to examine two questions. First, does increasing Myers-Briggs Type similarity correlate with improved performance by counselor supervisor/supervisee dyads? Second, is the Communication Style Adjustment Index superior to the cognitive style scale matching procedure as a method of quantifying MBTI similarity in dyads? Sixty-eight supervisor/supervisee dyads were recruited from University of North Texas Counselor Education Master's level practicum classes. Supervisee class rankings and supervisor performance ratings were correlated with the dyads' MBTI similarity as measured by the Communication Style Adjustment Index and the cognitive style matching procedure. While none of the hypotheses were supported it was noted that there was interaction approaching significance between dyadic similarity using the Communication Style Adjustment Index and supervisor performance ratings.

Full textAbstract:
This study was designed to investigate the correlation of the variables of gender, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality preferences, and androgyny as measured by the Bem Sex Role Inventory (BSRI) in Counselor Education graduate students. Instruments were administered to Counselor Education graduate students at nine institutions in five national regions. A total of 172 participants (18 males and 154 females) who were enrolled in Master's level theories courses or practicum courses completed a student information sheet, informed consent, MBTI, and BSRI. Instruments were hand scored and chi-square test was used to determine significance of the hypotheses; the saturated model of log linear analysis was the statistic used for the research question. As predicted, of the sixteen MBTI types, the most common for Counselor Education graduate students emerged as ENFP: extraversion, intuition, feeling, and perception. Additionally, this MBTI type was found to be significantly more common among the population of Counselor Education graduate students than is found among the general population. The expectation that more male Counselor Education graduate students would score higher on the androgyny scale of the BSRI was unsupported; low sample size for male Counselor Education graduate students prevented use of chi-square; however, it was apparent through the use of the statistic of raw frequencies that males clustered around every other category except androgyny. The hypothesis that more female Counselor Education graduate students would score higher on the feminine scale was also unsupported, as equal distribution of the females occurred within all four categories of the BSRI. It was hypothesized that males with a sensing and thinking preference on the MBTI would tend toward the masculine dimension of the BSRI more than males with an intuitive and feeling preference. This was unsupported as well. Female Counselor Education graduate students with an intuitive and feeling preference did, however, demonstrate a greater tendency toward the feminine classification on the BSRI than did females with a sensing and thinking preference, so that this hypothesis was retained. No significant relationship was found between the variables of MBTI type, BSRI classification, and gender.

Full textAbstract:
The ultimate objective of the present PhD thesis is to propose effective instructional methods to be employed in teaching macroeconomics as an academic subject, their selection being determined by the personality type recognition of the students of economics-based academic programmes. First, a current state of academic education and an increase in the number of university/college students, schools and faculties are analysed. Within the sector of higher education institutions (HEI) providing academic training in economic sciences, the focus is on the rationale of the inclusion of macroeconomics in their syllabi. Having conducted the quantitative research, the MBTI questionnaire being employed to measure personality types, the composition of academic study groups in the chosen economics-based schools was examined from the viewpoint of the given typology. An analysis of currently applied forms and methods of instruction in macroeconomics at the Private University College of Economic Studies (PUCES) is accompanied by the interpretation of their impact on the academic achievements of particular personality types. Based on the research findings, appropriate teaching methods are matched with respective personality types and subsequently with the entire study group comprising different types of personalities. The present dissertation thesis consists of an introduction, seven chapters and a conclusion. The introduction presents the aim of the thesis, an overview of the current state of relevant research on the topic as well as research hypotheses and methodology. Chapter 1 explores the current state of HEI programmes affected by soaring numbers of students, HEIs and their faculties. Chapter 2 focuses on macroeconomics as a scientific discipline and an academic subject incorporated in the syllabuses of the selected HEIs. Chapter 3 concentrates on academic teaching, outlining the philosophies, modes and methods of academic instruction. In chapter 4, personality typologies are exposed, focusing selectively on their development, emphasising those with significant social influence. The MBTI personality typology is given special attention, corresponding basic personality dimensions, dispositions and study successfulness being considered. Chapter 5 describes the results of the research of the student groups' structure according to MBTI typology in five chosen HEIs, summarizing the outcomes from the schools being tested. In chapter 6, macroeconomics examination results achieved by PUCES students are displayed, being related to respective personality categories in compliance with the above typology. In the last chapter, optimal methods and instructional approaches are suggested for teaching particular personality types of students, the heterogeneous composition of the study groups being taken into consideration.

Full textAbstract:
Written communication is an integral part of any organisation regardless of size or the nature of its business. The writer chooses words that should be understood by the readers. However, these words have been chosen based on a variety of factors, one of which is personality type, and the writer's personality type may differ from that of the readers. The research question underpinning this study is - In what ways, if at all, do personality types (as determined by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and most frequently found in management positions), select and use different words and phrases when writing business communication? To investigate this question, the psychological type theory of Jung, the personality type theory of Briggs and Myers, and organisational communication theory are applied. The methodology used is descriptive research with the documents analysed using content analysis, employing NUD.IST Vivo in conjunction with manual assessment. The research findings confirm that each personality type does use different words, validating personality type theory and therefore, making a contribution to the expanding body of research in this field. The knowledge gained from this study has significance in areas related to organisations as well as education and communication theory.

Full textAbstract:
Varje år genomförs ungefär 3,5 miljoner personlighetsprofileringar med Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®, MBTI ®. Det gör instrumentet till ett av de mest använda psykologiska testen i världen och det innebär att lika många människor får en etikett på sin personlighetstyp som kan användas på olika sätt. Det finns studier, till exempel av Carlyn, som talar för att MBTI är ett pålitligt instrument, men det finns också studier, till exempel av Pittenger, som hävdar motsatsen. James Michael menar att enbart MBTI ger en alltför inkomplett bild av en ledares beteende. Kanske är det klokt att komplettera MBTI med andra testinstrument för att få en komplettare bild av en individ.En modell som skulle kunna komplettera MBTI är motivationsteorin Self-Determination Theory, SDT, och tillhörande delteori General Causality Orientation, GCO. I denna studie jämförs MBTI med GCO och resultatet indikerar att autonomi orientation i GCO saknar kausala samband med MBTI medan controlled orientation och impersonal orientation har viss överlappning. Slutsatsen blir att de två modellerna mäter olika aspekter av personlighet och att de därför kan komplettera varandra.Every year about 3.5 million personality profiles are made with the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator ®, MBTI ®. This should make the instrument one of the most widely used psychological tests in the world and it means that a lot of people get a description of their personality type that can be used in different ways. Some studies, for example by Carlyn, suggest that the MBTI is a reliable instrument, but there are also studies, for example by Pittenger, that claim otherwise. James Michael says that MBTI alone give an incomplete assessment of a leader's behavior. Perhaps it is wise to complete the MBTI with other test instruments to get a more complete profile of an individual.A model that could complement MBTI is Self-Determination Theory, SDT, and the related sub theory General Causality Orientation, GCO. This study compares MBTI with GCO and the results indicate that autonomy orientation in GCO has no causality with MBTI whereas controlled orientation and impersonal orientation has some overlapping. The conclusion is that the two models measure different aspects of personality and therefore they can complement each other.

Full textAbstract:
A portable high speed digital electronic DRAM radiation detection system was designed and constructed at the University of Surrey. The electronics system was designed around a Fully Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) acting as the DRAM controller. The system was controlled by a Personal Computer (PC) which also acquired and stored the data. The system control software was developed using the C language and written at the University of Surrey, the system was designed for use with 4 different types of Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) chips acting as detectors mounted on separate boards from the controller. This was so that the main electronics could be placed in a shielded area whilst the detector is exposed to a radiation field. This is especially important in neutron fields where activation of components can be a significant problem. The radiation response of decapsulated 1 Mbit and 4 Mbit DRAMs to alpha particles was examined. There were six different devices in all, three 1 Mbit standard power devices, two 4 Mbit standard power devices and one 4 Mbit low power DRAM. These DRAMs were tested under different operating conditions of operating voltage, memory data pattern, cycle time and incident a-particle energy. Each DRAM was examined and their peak responses in terms of these factors was determined and compared to previous experiments with earlier DRAMs, all six devices were found to show an increase in soft error rate (SER) when the operating voltage of the DRAM was decreased. This was in agreement with previous experiments. This continued until an optimum was reached, if the operating was decreased below the optimum then the SER of the devices would quickly fall to zero, which was an unexpected effect. Two devices, the Hyundai 1 Mbit device and the Hitachi 4 Mbit ZIG-ZAG device exhibited a strong dependence on memory pattern with the Hyundai having no response with a 0000 pattern and a peak SER with a 1111 pattern. The Hitachi device had it's highest SER at 0000 and it's lowest at 1111. The other devices all exhibited some pattern dependence but it was not as marked as in these two devices. The devices all showed a lower SER for higher energy alpha particles (~5 MeV) with the SER increasing as the incident alpha particle energy decreased until a maximum SER was reached. As the incident energy was decreased further the SER would begin to fall again. This was also in agreement with previous DRAM experiments. The highest SER of the DRAMs tested was that of the 4 Mbit low power DRAM (manufactured by Toshiba), which had an SER of 224.25 s-1, more than 25 times that of the next most sensitive device, the 1 Mbit Hyundai standard power DRAM with a peak SER of 8.27 s-1. Unfortunately, due to an undetected fault in the low power header board the Toshiba device was not available to be used in the positron and neutron experiments. The 1 Mbit standard power devices (as they were more sensitive than the 4 Mbit standard power devices) were taken to the MRC Cyclotron Unit in London to try and detect a variety of positron emitters (11C, 15O, 18F 68Ge). Unfortunately, these experiments were not successful and the 1 Mbit devices did not appear to have enough sensitivity to be able to detect any of these particles. The 1 Mbit devices were also taken and irradiated in a neutron beam from the CONSORT-II research reactor at Imperial College, the devices were irradiated both bare and coated with a thermal neutron to charged particle converter material, the converter used was 6LiF and was deposited directly onto the bare silicon die of the DRAM, in both cases thermal neutrons were detected by the DRAMs. Further possible experiments with a larger range of low power DRAMs to investigate their apparently high SER rates are discussed, including further experiments with positrons and neutrons. The implications of further miniaturisation of the controller and header boards for remote inspection purposes are also discussed.

The purpose of this study was to examine the self-directed learning readiness in executive fire officers in relation to the independent variables of personality type, educational attainment, and professional designation. This research utilized a quantitative design.
This study utilized the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the Self-Directed Learning Readiness Scale (SDLRS) with a sample of 250 professional firefighters. The total sample was divided equally between executive-level fire officers and firefighters at 125 each from professional departments in the Southeastern United States. Results were that the mean SDLRS score for the executive-level fire officers was 233.7 and significantly higher than the means of both the firefighters (221.6) and the adult population norm (214). Overall, results also found that the frequency of representation across the eight dominant functions of the MBTI were significantly different between the executive fire officer group and both the firefighter and the MBTI male norm group. However, only extroverted-sensors had a significant difference between the executive fire officers and the firefighters and only extroverted-thinkers had significant difference between executive fire officers and the reported male norm, respectively. Similarly, the executive fire officer sample was compared to a sample of top public managers and found that there were no differences in the representativeness of the two samples. Overall, there were no substantive differences in representativeness of dominant functions between groups.
Results indicated significant relationships between education, personality type, and the dependent variable SDLRS scores. The model that was developed explained 15.4% of the variability in SDLRS scores with significant positive correlations for two categories of educational attainment (undergraduate, graduate) and four categories of dominant functions of personality type (ES, EN, ET, and IN). When examining the same model exclusively for executive fire officers, the model explained 9.5% of the variability in SDLRS scores utilizing significant positive correlations for personality type for three categories of dominant function; IN, EN, and ET, respectively. Overall, the results of this study supported the theoretical construct that a high degree of self-directedness in learning was present at the executive fire officer level.

This thesis is about changes which are define by company: customization. The main goal of this work is to identify the main phases of this process and put it into the reference model MBI. In the first chapter the theoretical apparat of the process of customization is defined as well as the business impact of this process. The second chapter focuses on the aforementioned extension of the MBI model. This extension is realized by four tasks, which clearly define the process of customization. These tasks are linked with scenarios which define the problems of this process. This work also includes three new factors and a document of the MBI model.

Full textAbstract:
L’urée, apportée dans les engrais, fournit aux plantes l’azote nécessaire à leur croissance. Dans le sol, elle est convertie en ammoniac par les uréases, puis, via le procédé de nitrification, est oxydée en nitrites, puis en nitrates, éléments essentiels pour la nutrition des plantes. Mais, cet apport artificiel conduit à de nombreux déséquilibres écologiques dus à d’importants rejets d’azote au niveau atmosphérique et aquatique. C’est pourquoi les inhibiteurs d’uréases et de la nitrification, qui régulent la présence des différentes formes de l’azote dans le sol, sont d’un intérêt majeur en agriculture. Dans le cadre du projet AZOSTIMER, nous avons voulu améliorer l’efficacité du MBT, inhibiteur de la nitrification, et du NBPT, inhibiteur d’uréases. Nous avons tout d’abord souhaité améliorer l’hydrosolubilité, et ainsi la biodisponibilité du MBT et d’un homologue, le MBI, par mise à profit du concept de prodrogue. Ces molécules ont été conjuguées à des sucres par synthèse glycosidique et une famille d’inhibiteurs glycosylés a été préparée. Par la suite, les propriétés physico-chimiques (solubilité, stabilité), biologiques (écotoxicité, activité) et le comportement dans les sols (dégradabilité, mobilité) ont été évalués. Dans un second temps, nous avons voulu prolonger l’activité du NBPT dans les sols acides en limitant sa dégradation, soit par encapsulation dans une formulation, soit par modulations chimiques. De nombreuses formulations du NBPT ont été développées puis évaluées (stabilité en milieu acide, activité dans les sols). Des phosphoramides ont été synthétisés et évalués afin de mettre en évidence des relations structure-stabilité chimique et structure-activitéFertilizers based on urea, provide plants with the amount of nitrogen necessary for their growth. In soils, urea is degradated into ammonium by ureases. Next, ammonium is oxidized to nitrite, then to nitrate in the nitrification process. This last ion is fundamental for plant nutrition. However, this artificial input induces many ecological disturbances due to nitrogen loss in the atmosphere and groundwaters. This is why urease as well as nitrification inhibitors, which balance the presence of different forms of nitrogen in soils, are challenging targets for an efficient and responsible agriculture. Within the project AZOSTIMER, we were interested in improving the efficacity of MBT, a nitrification inhibitor, and NBPT, a urease inhibitor. Firstly, we set out to improve the water solubility, and therefore, the biodisponibility of the MBT and the analogous MBI, by applying the concept of pro-drug. These molecules were bound to sugars by glycosidic synthesis and a set of glycosylated inhibitors were produced. The physicochemical (solubility, stability) and biological (ecotoxicity, inhibition activity) properties were later evaluated, as well as the behavior of these molecules in soils (degradability, mobility). Secondly, we wanted to extend the activity of NBPT in acidic soils by lowering its degradation, developing either new formulations based on encapsulation of the bioactive molecule or by designing new chemical modulations. Many formulations of NBPT were created and assessed (stability in acidic media, inhibition activity in soils). Phosphoramides were synthesized and evaluated in order to highlight correlations between the structure, and the stability or the activity
