Abstract
To determine whether personality type influences the selection of an approach to weight loss, 46 college students completed a food-habits questionnaire and the Keirsey Temperament Sorter. Analysis indicates that persons who score high on the feeling and perceiving scales of the Keirsey sorter are more likely to choose a group weight-loss program than others. There were no significant personality differences with regard to calorie counting, fasting, or use of diet foods or pills.
