Abstract
This study looked at the relationship between two very well-established personality tests at the facet level. Over 9000 adults completed the MBTI and the NEO-PI-R, which measures six facets each of the Big Five personality traits. Correlational analysis suggested very little relationship between test scores, despite issues of shared method variance. At the domain level, results suggested the highest correlations for Neuroticism was TF, for Extraversion EI, for Openness JP and for both Agreeableness and Conscientiousness TF. There were many inconsistencies in the pattern of correlations at the facet level. The study also did not confirm the relationship between the SN scale and Openness which has been found before. Regressions of the Big Five onto the four MBTI scores suggested that all five traits were related to the TF and JP types. Results are discussed in terms of previous studies in this area. Limitations are acknowledged.
