Abstract

AbstractThe Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator and another instrument, which tests assertive, nonassertive, or hostile responses to describe residence hall disciplinary situations, were administered to 48 residence hall personnel at Baylor University. Using chi-square, it was found that individuals whose Myers-Briggs results identified them as having an extroverted orientation, a preference for gathering information through sensory modalities rather than using intuition and insight, and a tendency to process information logically without applying subjective values chose significantly more nonassertive responses than was expected by chance. Discussion of the choice-making behavior of this group as well as that of other groups that were less nonassertive is followed by implications for student personnel administrators.
