摘要: Over the past decade, there has been increased interest in determining the role of personality factors in attracting and retaining individuals in various occupations. This study was designed to look at the role of personality types as defined by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). The instrument assesses personality on four broad, dichotomous categories (i.e., extroversion vs. introversion) as well as 16 distinct combinations of the four major classifications. This study investigated the relationship between MBTI types and initial success in the Air Traffic Control Academy Screen Program, subsequent field training outcomes, and transition to a supervisory or managerial position about 20 years later. The 300-item MBTI was administered to 5,588 males (87%) and 832 females upon their entry into Academy training between 1982 and 1985. Information maintained at the Civil Aerospace Medical Institute and in the Federal Aviation Administration's personnel system allowed us to track these individuals from initial selection to their current positions and determine their supervisory status. Comparisons were made of the prevalent MBTI types at each career stage.
