Sage Journals: Discover world-class research

Abstract

The present study was designed to replicate McCrae and Costa's research findings on the relation of NEO–4 domains with the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator scales in a Polish sample of 300 psychology student volunteers (175 women, 125 men). Their mean age was 22.3 yr. (SD = 4.5). Correlations for scores on the MBTI scales with NEO–4 domains ranged from .72 to .02 for Extraversion, from -.60 to -.16 for Openness to experience, from -.56 to -.04 for Agreeableness, and from .55 to -.07 for Conscientiousness. Two domains assessed with the NEO–4 correspond to preferences measured by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator.
