The Myers-Briggs Personality Indicator and its Usefulness for Problem Solving by Mining Industry Personnel
研究调查了加拿大安大略省东北部矿业人员的MBTI人格类型与问题解决能力,发现ISTJ和ESTJ类型最为常见,并讨论了其对团队和个人问题解决的启示。
This article describes the results of a survey study in the mining industry in northeastern Ontario, Canada, to determine if the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the Project Planning Situation exercise could be used to assess mining personnel's information-processing types and their problem-solving capabilities. Over a 2-year period, 610 males from a metal-mining firm and a uranium-mining firm completed these two inventories. The results of this study showed that the four-letter MBTI typings of ISTJ (introverted, sensing, thinking, and judging) and ESTJ (extroverted, sensing, thinking, and judging) were the most prevalent in the study sample. Implications of the findings for group and individual problem solving in these industries were discussed.
