Self-Descriptive Adjectives Associated with a Jungian Personality Inventory

Abstract

The purpose of this paper was to provide information which might prove useful in the interpretation of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. A sample of 209 students provided self-descriptions from the adjectives on the Adjective Check List and took the Myers-Briggs. On the basis of Myers-Briggs scores the sample was divided by sex into groups of extraverts and introverts, sensing and intuitive, thinking and feeling, and judging and perceiving types. Adjectives characteristic of males and females in each group were derived by means of chi-square.
