The influence of a person’s brain type and the segmental coordination used in free throw basketball shooting was evaluated by video analysis. Fifteen subjects were classified using a brain typing inventory with 16 categories. Markers were placed on selected joints of the participants who performed 5 free throws, videotaped in the sagittal plane at 60 Hz. Three participants having a brain type on each end of the personality spectrum were selected for film analysis. The shooting coordinate data was analyzed using an Ariel APAS. The time and maximal angular velocities were calculated for selected joints. The order of joint sequencing was determined for the brain types. Subjects who were brain type (BCIL/INTJ) tended to use multiple joint sequencing and those of brain type (FEAR/ESFP) used primarily large segments.

Despite the advances in argumentation on group decision negotiation there is a need to simulate and identify the personality of participants. To make participants' agents more human-like and to increase their flexibility in the negotiation process in group decision-making, the authors investigated the role of personality behaviours of participants applied to the conflict style theme. The negotiation is made in a bilateral way where both parties are OCEAN participant agents based on the five-factor model of personality (Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness and Negative emotionality).

On the basis of 30 years of experience of experts of the International Institute of Socionics, a method for applying the drawing test of G.А. Shulman to determine the socionic personality characteristics is described. Recommendations on the use of this test in socionic counseling are given.

Psychological reactance is a construct that has potential wide ranging counseling implications. Recently, researchers have argued that reactance is characterological in nature and have attempted to delineate its nomological network. This study extends the nomological network of psychological reactance using the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the Therapeutic Reactance Scale (TRS). Personality type was found to be related to psychological reactance as measured by the TRS. The relationship between the TRS and MBTI, while significant, is complicated by a significant three-way interaction between Extraversion-Introversion, Intuition-Sensing and Thinking-Feeling. More specifically, thinkers consistently reported higher levels of psychological reactance than did Feelers, and intuitive-thinkers tended to report higher levels of psychological reactance than did sensing-thinkers.

We are currently pursuing methods for “author profiling” in which various aspects of the author's identity might be identified from a text, without necessarily having a corpus of documents from the same individual. A key component of such an identity profile is personality; this ...

The relationship between Big Five personality (measured by the NEO-PI) and prejudice was examined using a variable-and a person-centred approach. Big Five scores were related to a generalized prejudice factor based on seven different prejudice scales (racial prejudice, sexism, etc). A correlation analysis disclosed that Openness to Experience and Agreeableness were significantly related to prejudice, and a multiple regression analysis showed that a variable-centred approach displayed a substantial cross-validated relationship between the five personality factors and prejudice. A cluster analysis of the Big Five profiles yielded, in line with previous research, three personality types, but this person-centred approach showed a low cross-validated relationship between personality and prejudice, where the overcontrolled type showed the highest prejudice and the undercontrolled the lowest, with the resilient falling in between. A head-to-head comparison sustained the conclusion that, based on people's Big Five personalities, their generalized prejudice could be predicted more accurately by the variable-than the personcentred approach.

This paper explores the evolution of career management systems for industrial researchers. Based on case studies of experimental career development systems for industrial researchers, combined with a survey of 196 researchers at two large industrial laboratories, alternative approaches toward managing professional careers are discussed. The results indicate that the researchers' personal types as measured by the Myers-Briggs type indicator may serve as a useful predictor of their career preferences. In addition, the research enables us to evaluate alternative modes of career development for industrial R&D.

The MBTI Test and College Majors
MBTI® Types vary in many ways and this holds true for their college major selection process. Whether it is which college majors they choose, or the decision-making process they go through to choose such college majors, college students vary in both processes.

Personality types refer to common or typical configurations of the dispositional attributes that define the individual. Research over the last 20 years has identified a set of three replicable personality types: resilient, overcontrolled, and undercontrolled personalities. Resilient individuals are characterized by self-confidence, emotional stability, and a positive orientation toward others. Overcontrolled individuals are emotionally brittle, introverted, and tense, whereas undercontrolled individuals are disagreeable and lack self-control. In this article, we provide a brief history of current research on the three personality types and identify key areas of controversy. We also outline several directions for future research and discuss the importance of maintaining both attribute-and person-centered perspectives in contemporary personality psychology.

A hypothesis relating personality types to activity of the Behavioural Approach System (BAS) and the 11 Behavioural Inhibition System (BIS) was tested in a sample of 1015 10-18-year-old adolescents. According 12 to this hypothesis, Undercontrollers could be characterized as individuals with overactive BAS, Overcon-13 trollers as individuals with overactive BIS, and Resilients as individuals with low activity of both systems. 14 These predictions were generally confirmed. Psychometrically measured BAS and BIS appeared to be the 15 strongest predictors of Undercontrolled and Overcontrolled prototypes, respectively. Resilients were char-16 acterized by low scores on both dimensions. 17

This study investigates the relationship between the personality type and cognitive-metacognitive strategies utilized by test-takers in reading comprehension tests. One hundred undergraduate Iranian English Foreign Learning (EFL) students participated in a reading comprehension test followed by a questionnaire and the Myers & Briggs Type Inventory. The questionnaire consisted of 30 cognitive-metacognitive items (Phakiti, 2003). These questions inquired about the thought process that occurred while completing the test. The 93-item Myers-Brigs Type Indicator (MBTI) questionnaire is a tool that provides individuals with a personality type. The study employed a quantitative data analysis where the input data was analyzed in two ways. First, descriptive statistics were used to describe the sample characteristics, and then a two-way ANOVA was calculated to obtain a general view of the relationship between the variables. The data analysis resulted in the identification of 14 personality ty...

Cohen's (1967) method of determining compliant, aggressive and detached personality types is modified and employed in exploring the relationship between personality types and generalized purchasing involvement. The hypothesis that the detached personality type will be less involved in purchasing than compliant or aggressive personality types is tested and supported. Theoretical implications are discussed.

This study explored the value of using Holland's theory of vocational personality types and work environments for improving predictions of personality-performance relations. Upper level undergraduates representing the RIASEC environments completed the Self-Directed Search and a measure of the Five-Factor Model of personality that were used to predict grades. Overall, agreeableness and conscientiousness accounted for approximately 2% to 3% of the variance in performance. However, when the data were analyzed further by RIASEC environment, more than 9% of the variance in performance was accounted for with personality scores. This study supports assertions in the literature that predictions of performance using global traits, such as conscientiousness, can be improved using appropriate moderators. Furthermore, important relations between personality and performance can be masked if job context is ignored.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship among EFL learners' Autonomy (AU), Critical Thinking (CT), Personality Type (PT), and use of Vocabulary Learning Strategies (VLS). To fulfill this objective, 140 randomly selected EFL learners were asked to fill out four pertinent questionnaires. After performing preliminary analyses to check the assumptions of linear correlation, the data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient the results of which revealed the existence of a statistically significant relationship between AU and CT, AU and overall use of VLS, among the components of VLS and AU, CT and overall use of VLS, and among the components of VLS and CT. However, no significant relationship was observed between PT and other variables of concern.

The economic literature shows many evidences on the relationship between labor market success and personality. Our study examines the connection between Myers–Briggs personality types and academic performance among students of University of Debrecen, Hungary. Our sample consists of 2nd and 3rd year Business Administration and Management and Business Informatics students (N = 408). We examine the significance of the difference between the grade means of the Myers–Briggs personality types and the group means by year and major with one sample t-test on 10% significance level. We also analyze the effect of personality types on the academic performance with linear regression models containing additional independent variables (gender, local inhabitance, work experience, university year, major, age) on 10% significance level. Our results show that on Business Administration and Management major INTJ, ESTJ, and ESFJ students outperform the others (adjusted R2 contribution of personality typ...

This book offers a  different look at Identity and identification and introduces the notion of substitute identities (and a subsequent repertoire of personalities) as a rather common phenomenon in many people, as the root of PTSD and other identity conflict and dissociation disorders and the key to effective diagnosis and treatment. 
Identity is a “hot topic" in academia and popular culture. It might be considered as the ideological signifier of our age, but also carries an ever increasing weight as a political emblem, even as this mostly concerns identification, which we easily trade for consciousness. Identity is an essential attribute of being. At a personal level, identity is not only what we think we are or the labels we are given. It includes our unconscious and is more than our personality, the expression of our identity in relation to others. It goes deeper than our subjective selfhood, the notion of me or self which provides the sense of sameness and continuity, but this stability is an illusion. We are not the same all the time, the continuity of a single ‘self’ is a chimera. This is thus also true for our personality, One of the central themes of this book is that our personal identity is not an indivisible, immutable, totally consistent given, but rather a dynamic matrix, often a repertoire of identities. This is not a pathological condition, but something many of us have, with resulting inner conficts, which eventually may cause depression or disease. To help understand these identity conflicts, in oneself and in others, we present a new way to look at the formation and development of the primary identity and substitute identities and how these manifest and change.
Dissociation and identification are processes of transformation, they shape us, in a continuous process. Issues like the group mind, social identity, the Western identity crisis, identity politics,  radicalization and identification mechanisms are covered in this book, as are PTSD and auto-immune diseases. We show how there is resonance between cell-, organ- and personal-identity at the epigenetic level. This book is full of new and daring insights and visualizations on how our psyche operates and how we as humans function.

If the inferior function is our "troublemaker," (Spoto, 1995, p. 96) with its necessity, according to C.G. Jung, to find expression for the development of character, how much more troublesome does life become when the anima/animus position is occupied by extraverted sensation, the function most closely associated with sexual activity? Yet sex may be a path to individuation for individuals with extraverted sensing in the inferior position and a dominant introverted intuitive mode of consciousness (INFJ and INTJ). Examples from self-experience, biography, and cinema show the turmoil generated by what is essentially a typological problem, while mythology reveals sexuality as an initiation into Dionysiac madness and ecstasy. The process of individuation, involving recognition and relation to the inferior function, calls the introverted intuitive (Ni) individual in the manner of an inner moral imperative towards the work of healing the psychological and cultural split between the sexual and the spiritual. The Ni types are tasked with finding a way to unify the spiritual and the sexual and can therefore model the journey for other types. This particular conjunction of function and archetype for Ni dominants can show us the power of the Dionysian to unify the psyche for all types.

The findings of the literature on the predictive power of the Big Five personality model on academic and training success, vary to a large extent, according to several researchers. One of the reasons for the diverging conclusions may be attributed to cultural factors. This study makes an attempt to close this research gap as far as Greece is concerned, where there appears to be no such published study, involving university students. The purpose of the study is to close this gap, and offer both academics and practitioners additional insight, in their decisions, concerning training and education issues such as admissions to college or graduate programs. The methodology used in this study, involves the collection of the responses from 962 university students from a population of about 3000, who completed a structured questionnaire, including the variables of the Big Five model and the Dependent Variables of student performance measured by the student Grade Point Average (GPA), and the GPA the student believed she/he deserved, as well as the percentage of the modules passed out of those required. The results were analyzed with the use of SPSS using confirmatory factor analysis and Regression analysis. The Independent Variables include, Extraversion, Neuroticism, Openness to experiences, Agreeableness and Conscientiousness. Demographic data will also be included in the analysis. Findings: In accordance with prior studies on personality and performance (both academic and work) Academic Performance correlated with extraversion, conscientiousness and emotional stability. Also, Perceived Academic performance related to extraversion and conscientiousness. Finally, Academic performance according to percentage of modules passed was related to age, agreeableness and conscientiousness. The Originality of the study lies in its being the first of its kind in Greece, addressing this issue at the university level. With the changes in the educational and 3 sociopolitical environment it is expected that the new knowledge produced by this study will be helpful to academic institution recruitment policies. Implications: There are serious implications for tertiary education administrations, who can select their prospective students based not only on their past ( high-school) performance, but also on the additional information provided by the personality tests of the candidates, increasing thus the chance of their completing their studies in a timely fashion. Similarly, in the field of training, HR administrators may be helped by selecting the people who will receive training, so as to return the maximum value for that investment, based on the use of the Big Five Model and the findings of this study.

In recent years, it has been well established that the basic personality factors of Neuroticism, Extraversion, and Conscientiousness are associated with stress experience and coping. However, little is known about their combined eects. To address this question, we studied eight personality types Ð unique combinations of Neuroticism, Extraversion, and Conscientiousness Ð in a sample of 683 university students. Participants reported daily hassles, positive and negative emotions, and coping strategies. The eight types related dierentially to these measures. Types combining low Neuroticism with high Conscientiousness featured the most favourable pro®le of stress and coping, whereas types combining high Neuroticism with low Conscientiousness showed high vulnerability to stress and poor coping. The eects of Extraversion were more ambiguous and appeared to depend on the speci®c combinations of Neuroticism and Conscientiousness. The ®ndings suggest that this typology represents a useful approach to addressing the question of how individuals with dierent combinations of personality traits experience and manage stress. 7

To what extent are personality characteristics linked with listening style preferences? To probe this question, a large sample of young adults (males, n = 898; females, n = 733) completed both the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (Eysenck, Eysenck & Barrett, Personality and IndizGdual Dijfirences, 6, 21-29, 1985) and the Listening Styles Profile (Watson, Barker & Weaver, International Journal qf Lisfening, 9, 1-I 3, 1995). Consistent with expectations, the findings revealed that distinctly different patterns of listening styles were associated with each of three personality dimensions. The psychoticism personality type was linked with a socially callous listening style. The extraversion personality type was associated with a friendly and supportive 'people' oriented listening style. The neuroticism personality type, on the other hand, was correlated with listening styles that minimized the time spent interacting with others.

Although some research has linked emotional intelligence (EI) and psychological health, little research has examined EI's ability to predict health outcomes after controlling for related constructs, or EI's ability to moderate the stressor-strain relationship. The present study explored the relationships among EI (as assessed by a trait-based measure, the EQi), Big Five personality factors, Type A Behaviour Pattern (TABP), daily hassles, and psychological health/strain factors (in terms of perceived well-being, strain, and three components of burnout). The EQ-i was highly correlated with most aspects of personality and TABP. After controlling for the impact of hassles, personality, and TABP, the five EQ-i subscales accounted for incremental variance in two of the five psychological health outcomes. However, the EQ-i scales failed to moderate the hassles-strain relationship.

Munculnya berbagai media sosial turut menandai kemajuan berkomunikasi tanpa batasan ruang dan waktu seperti misalnya media sosial Path. Umumnya, mahasiswa menggunakan media sosial Path untuk mengungkapkan diri atau menunjukkan keterbukaan diri. Keterbukaan diri merupakan pengungkapan diri kepada orang lain sehingga individu dapat saling memahami satu sama lainnya. Keterbukaan diri yang dilakukan oleh pengguna media sosial Path juga dilatar belakangi oleh berbagai macam, salah satunya adalah tipe kepribadian. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara tipe kepribadian dan keterbukaan diri pengguna media sosial Path dan peran jenis kelamin dalam memoderasi tipe kepribadian dan keterbukaan diri pengguna media sosial Path pada mahasiswa. Sampel berjumlah 98 mahasiswa tersebar di beberapa Perguruan Tinggi di Jakarta, Depok, dan Bekasi. Analisis data menggunakan analisis korelasi Product Moment Pearson dan Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan negatif yang signifikan antara tipe kepribadian introvert dan keterbukaan diri pengguna media sosial Path. Sedangkan, tipe kepribadian ekstrovert tidak memiliki hubungan yang signifikan pada keterbukaan diri pengguna media sosial Path. Ini berarti, individu yang semakin cenderung introvert maka keterbukaan dirinya di media sosial Path akan semakin sering. Jenis kelamin terbukti secara negatif dan signifikan memoderasi dan memperlemah hubungan tipe kepribadiaan ekstrovert dan keterbukaan diri pengguna media sosial Path. Laki-laki cenderung ekstrovert dan perempuan cenderung introvert.

The emergence of social media also marks the progress of communication without the limitation of space and time, such as social media Path. Generally, the students use the Path to disclosure or show the openness of themselves. Self-disclosure is self-expression to others so that people can understand each other. Self-disclosure made by users on social media Path is also motivated by a wide range, one of which is the personality type. This study aims to determine the relationship between personality types and self-disclosure on social media Path users and the role of gender in moderating the personality types and self-disclosure on social media Path users on college students. Samples amount 98 college students in several colleges in Jakarta, Depok, and Bekasi. Analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The results showed that there was a negative significance of relationship introvert personality type and self-disclosure on social media Path users. Meanwhile, the extrovert personality type did not have a significant on self-disclosure on social media Path users. This means, people increasingly tend to be introverted then her openness in the social media Path will be more frequent. Gender also had an interaction on the extrovert personality type and self-disclosure on social media Path users. Gender as a moderator proved to be negative significantly moderate and weaken relations extrovert personality type and self-disclosure on social media Path users. Males tend to be more extroverted and females tend to be more introverted.

This paper proposes an ANFIS (Adaptive Network Based Fuzzy Inference System) Learning Approach where we have found patterns of personality types using Big Five Personality Tests for Software Engineering Roles in Software Development Project Teams as part of RAMSET (Role Assignment Methodology for Software Engineering Teams) methodology. An ANFIS model is applied to a set of role traits resulting from Big Five personality tests in our case studies obtaining a Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) type model with rules that helps us recommend best suited roles for performing in software engineering teams.

Personality is the man. The successful living of an individual, as a man, depends to a large extent on the academic achievement of that individual, as a student. This article attempts to find out personality type, academic achievement of secondary school students and relationship between them by selecting a sample of 300 secondary school students from Tirunelveli. Survey method was used. The collected data, using Multidimensional Personality Inventory and quarterly examination marks were analyzed statistically and the results show that the personality type of secondary students is ambient, their academic achievement is average and there exists relationship between personality type and academic achievement of secondary school students with reference to  some factors and there is no relationship with regard to some other variables, suggesting that there could be some other factors that influence their academic achievement.

A major reconceptualization of personality psychopathology has been proposed for DSM-5 that identifies core impairments in personality functioning, pathological personality traits, and prominent pathological personality types. A comprehensive personality assessment consists of four components: levels of personality functioning, personality disorder types, pathological personality trait domains and facets, and general criteria for personality disorder. This four-part assessment focuses attention on identifying personality psychopathology with increasing degrees of specificity, based on a clinician's available time, information, and expertise. In Part I of this two-part article, we describe the components of the new model and present brief theoretical and empirical rationales for each. In Part II, we will illustrate the clinical application of the model with vignettes of patients with varying degrees of personality psychopathology, to show how assessments might be conducted and diagnoses reached.

This study examined whether people would interpret and respond to verbal (text) and non-verbal cues (posture) of personality in interactive characters just as they interpret cues from a person. In a balanced, between-subjects experiment (N"40), introverted and extroverted participants were randomly paired with one of two types of consistent computer characters: (1) matched participants' personality with both verbal and nonverbal cues or (2) completely mismatched the participant, or one of two types of inconsistent characters: (3) matched with verbal cues but not with non-verbal cues or (4) matched with non-verbal but not with verbal cues. Participants accurately identi"ed the character's personality type in their assessment of its verbal and non-verbal cues. Preference was for consistent characters, regardless of participant personality. Consistent characters also had greater in#uence over peoples' behavior*interaction with consistent characters led to greater changes in people's answers than interaction with inconsistent characters. Finally, contrary to previous research, participants tended to prefer a character whose personality was complementary, rather than similar, with their own. This study demonstrates the importance of orchestrating the overall set of cues that an interactive computer character presents to the computer user, and emphasizes the need for consistency among these cues.

This study examined bidirectional, longitudinal associations between peer victimisation and self-esteem in adolescents, and tested for moderator effects of undercontrolling, overcontrolling, and ego-resilient personality types in these associations. Data were used from 774 adolescents ages 11-16 years who participated in a three-wave (i.e., 2005, 2006, and 2007) longitudinal study. Structural equation modelling analyses in Mplus demonstrated that, controlling for earlier levels of self-esteem, self-reported peer victimization was associated with lower self-esteem across one-year time intervals. Vice versa, however, low self-esteem was not predictive of subsequent selfreported victimization. Evidence was also found for a moderator effect of personality type on the longitudinal associations between self-esteem and victimization. Only in the subgroup of overcontrolling adolescents was lower self-esteem related to subsequently higher levels of peer victimization; their undercontrolling and ego-resilient peers were unaffected.

This paper explores the use of aptitude tests for selecting students for Design Engineering programmes. The latest ideas and theories are then explored regarding the usefulness of personality type instruments such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the Keirsey Temperament Sorter II (KTS II) as tools for forming balanced Design teams. The popularity of 'Design' programmes in the UK

Multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) are conventionally recommended in mental health
care literature as an important way to offer holistic treatment provision to patients. This
study aims to explore multidisciplinary teamwork in contemporary mental health
settings, particularly what aids and hinders the process of multidisciplinary teamworking,
and the social work contribution in such teams. In order to attain an in-depth
exploration of these phenomena, a single case study design was employed. Within this
design, data were generated through semi-structured interviews and structured
observation of a mental health MDT in Ireland. These data were analysed using
interpretative phenomenological analysis. The research highlights how the concept of
mental illness is contested within this MDT, with the medical model dominant within
an environment of fluid working arrangements. Professional role blurring and
stereotyping were found to impact the division of labour on this team, with role
negotiation found to be an integral part of retaining a professional’s practice identity.
This research raises concerns for social work’s capacity to function within mental
health MDTs in Ireland, and highlights ways in which social work educators might
respond in order to empower Irish social workers to meet the challenges of mental
health multidisciplinary teamworking.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the Myers-Briggs type inventory extraversion is associated with clinical evaluation ratings that students earn during their (obstetrics/gynecology) junior medical student clerkship. Study design: The Myers-Briggs type inventory was administered to medical students during their obstetrics/gynec clerkship. Bivariate correlations between clinical evaluations, National Board of Medical Examiners subject scores, and data from the Myers-Briggs type inventory extraversion scale were analyzed. Results: Pearson product-moment correlation between clinical and National Board of Medical Examiners subject scores was not significant (r = .25; P = .05). The National Board of Medical Examiners did not show significant correlations with the Myers-Briggs type inventory extraversion data. The clinical evaluations showed a significant correlation (r = .35; P = .005) with Myers-Briggs type inventory extraversion. Conclusion: Results show that Myers-Briggs type inventory extraversion is correlated positively with clinical evaluations. The National Board of Medical Examiners subject examination and clinical evaluations were not correlated significantly. Findings question whether clinical evaluation data should be included in the obstetrics/gynecology medical student evaluation process.

This paper presents an approach in analyzing personality types, temperament and team diversity to determine software engineering (SE) teams performance. The benefits of understanding personality types and its relationships amongst team members are crucial for project success. Rough set analysis was used to analyze Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality types, Keirsey temperament, team diversity, and team performance. The result shows positive relationships between these attributes.

A key component of improving human-computer interaction is through the matching of users with their preferred computer interfaces and interaction styles. Understanding the users better would result in a customized gaming experience, leading to sustained user engagement. In this paper, we develop an alternative tool to aid in the measurement of the D.I.S.C. personality styles of users in the form

Evolutionary interpretation of brain oscillations and empirical evidence link delta oscillations with reward motivation and alpha with anxiety. It is hypothesised that a balance of activity in these two oscillatory systems underlies the dimension of behavioural control. Overcontrollers could be characterised as individuals with a relatively high activity of the alpha oscillatory system, undercontrollers as individuals with excessive activity of the delta oscillatory system, and resilients as individuals with balanced activity of these systems. This hypothesis was tested in a sample of 78 adolescents aged 10-16 years. The predictions were generally confirmed. Relative prevalence of alpha oscillations, particularly in the parietal zone, predicted overcontrolled prototype whereas relative prevalence of delta oscillations, mostly in the frontal region, predicted undercontrolled prototype. Resilients were characterised by balanced activity of alpha and delta oscillations. (Netherlands Journal of Psychology, 62, 81-90.)

-The present study investigated the relationship between Jung's personality types and psychometric intelligence. A total of 4758 participants completed the Critical Reasoning Test Battery 2 and the Jung Type Indicator (JTI). General intelligence was significantly correlated with Extra version-Intro version (El), Sensing-Intuition (SN), Thinking-Feeling (TF) and Judging-Perception (JP), indicating an advantage for Introversion, Intuition, Thinking and Perceiving. Regressing personality and demographic factors on general intelligence indicated that they account for 14% of its variance. The investigation of personality and demographic predictors of specific mental abilities (numerical, verbal and abstract reasoning) revealed that El, TF and JP can be used to predict scores on all three mental abilities, whereas SN can be used to predict verbal reasoning only. The present study is an investigation of the extent to which Jung's personality types

Schizoid process is one of the most ubiquitous personality patterns, but it is insufficiently discussed in the literature. This article offers a description of both the true schizoid and the more prevalent schizoid process that runs through various types and levels of functioning. Schizoid process and personality type are described, including the characterological organization, interpersonal processes, and developmental origins of schizoid process. Therapy of schizoid process is discussed in terms of presentation of the schizoid in psychotherapy, development of the therapeutic relationship, stages of therapy, and treatment suggestions and cautions.
