A prototype model is presented that demonstrates the idea of modulating agent behavior using human personality type. The psychological theory of personality type known as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is applied here. The MBTI theory defines four dichotomies to explain how individual humans differ in the ways that they perceive their environment, interact with others, and make decision...

Purpose – Pluralities of personality schemas reside across different Maruyama universes suggesting incommensurability and isolation. Schemas may migrate across Maruyama universes given appropriate means. As illustration, the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) schema for personality temperament is migrated into a sociocognitive schema through the intermediary of knowledge cybernetics (KC). MBTI ...

The exploratory case study investigated the relationship between personality and emotional intelligence using a random sample of Brunei student teachers (N = 61) with 52 females and 12 males. Data were collected by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the BarOn Emotional Intelligence (EI) scale – Youth Version. Two of the 16 MBTI personality types were not represented in the participants....

This paper explores the use of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) as the basis for defining the personality of an agent. The MBTI is a well-known psychological theory of human personality. In the MBTI model, four axes are defined to explain how humans perceive their environment, how they interact with others and how they make decisions based on these traits. The work described here presents...

Technology innovators face the challenge of finding representative groups of users to participate in design activities. In some cases, software applications will target an audience of millions, and the characteristics of the vast number of potential users are unclear to the design team. In other cases, a technology is so new that the target market of potential users is not known. The Myers-Brig...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this pilot study is to examine the association between Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and prospective psychiatry residents. METHODS Forty-six American medical schools were contacted and asked to participate in this study. Data were collected and an aggregated list was compiled that included the following information: date of MBTI administration, academic year, MBT...

During the past 10 years, there has been considerable interest in the Type community about the relationship of Emotional Intelligence (EI) and Psychological Type. Recently, attempts have been made (Dulewicz & Higgs, 1999; Higgs, 2001; Pearman, 2001a, 2001b; Lawrence, 2001; Torrington, 2001; Farnsworth, Gilbert and Armstrong, 2002; Sitarenios, 2004, Maddocks, 2004; Engstrom, 2005; Richmond, Roll...

Salicylate synthase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, MbtI, is a highly promiscuous Mg(2+) dependent enzyme with up to four distinct activities detected in vitro: isochorismate synthase (IS), isochorismate pyruvate lyase (IPL), salicylate synthase (SS) and chorismate mutase (CM). In this paper, Molecular Dynamic (MD) simulations employing hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) pote...

Results from the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) for 259 nursing students were compared with their achievement on examinations in an undergraduate course in anatomy and physiology. Factor analysis demonstrated that no relationship existed between any of the eight individual personality traits purported to be measured by MBTI (i.e., E, Extrovert; I, Introvert; S, Sensing; N, Intuition; T, Thi...
