The Effects of Personality Type on Engineering Student Performance and Attitudes

This paper, from R.M. Felder and E.J. Dietz of North Carolina State University, and G.N. Felder of Stanford University, covers a study done of students in an engineering course, and how their Myers-Briggs Type Indicator affects their performance and attitudes in the course. A background of Myers-Biggs types is given, as well as a profile of the experimental cohort. Results of the study are also discussed.
